TOPFLIGHT MALLARDS Ultra-realistic paint schemes combine with the ultimate in paint adhesion and durability to create what many are saying is the final word in floating mallard decoys. All Topflight decoys feature the innovative weight-forward swim keel design; simply snap the line through the swim clip, to create natural motion to the decoys whether in current or in the slightest breeze. Decoys are slightly oversized, measuring 14.5˝ from breast to tail. The Topflight Mallard Fusion Pack is the perfect combination of upright and feeder heads that mimic the illusion of a resting flock of mallards on the water. The Preener/Sleeper pack perfectly captures the posture and anatomy of sleeping, resting and preening mallards, with a level of realism that standard production decoys cannot match. Early Season Mallards will offer you the early season look that mallards are dying for. We have had many requests from northern hunters that wanted this touch of realism and we were listening. We have perfected this look with these early season mallards by duplicating young drake mallards and combining them with the ultranatural hen mallards. Sold in packs of six.

AXP FULL BODY MALLARDS AXP Full Body Mallards are without a doubt the leader in the category. True to life postures of a feeding flock of mallards have been created at the hands of world champion decoy carver, Rick Johannsen. Paint schemes were also created, not only to look like the real bird but also to create contrast in the dark and light colors of the duck. This allows the decoys to be seen from a greater distance in a variety of field conditions. AXP Full Body Mallards are built to last, molded from an advanced rubberized molding material and non-chip paint. Decoys feature a wind activated motion system that rest atop a heavy duty 17Ë? field stake. Pack includes a heavy duty 6-slot decoy bag that will keep your decoys organized and clean for years of use. Sold in packs of six.

Don’t waste time searching for cover; take it with you. The A-Frame Blind features a noncorrosive aluminum modular frame complemented by a rugged 900-Denier Mossy Oak® Shadow Grass Blades shell. Grass straps and pockets incorporated into the blind’s outer cover allow for quick, easy and complete concealment using natural vegetation while the A-Frame design eliminates those bird-flaring hard edges and shadows so common with other blinds. Measuring 96˝ L X 60˝ W X 48˝ H and weighing 26 pounds, the A-Frame can easily accommodate four hunters, yet sets up in mere minutes. The A-Frame blind comes complete with four adjustable gun clips and EZ-Carry webbing strap, which makes packing the A-Frame into the field a cinch.

THE BEST CONSERVATIONISTS DESERVE THE BEST DECOYS Avian-X is proudly the official decoy manufacturer of the nation’s most reputable conservation organization.

LCD STRUTTER Kick aside the old decoys and get ready to put the LCD Strutter in your turkey hunting gear. If your heart starts racing just thinking about in-your-face action of gobblers challenging your decoys, you’ll love the Avian-X LCD Strutter. Incredible detail and superior life-like realism is sure to bring in that dominant gobbler. The Avian-X LCD Strutter is 15% smaller than a real turkey, so it’s light and easy to pack in the field for any turkey hunting scenario. By displaying a dominant posture, the LCD Strutter challenges the pecking order to fool mature toms. The LCD Strutter comes with a carry bag and collapsible stake.

LCD Half-STRUT JAKE The pecking order impacts every facet of wild turkey behavior. It’s why meticulous attention to detail goes into the design and manufacturing of every Avian-X LCD turkey decoy. The Avian-X LCD Half-Strut Jake perfectly portrays an intruding sub-dominant young male. From his body posture and head position, to his wing and tail placement, to the spread and positioning of his individual feathers, this decoy is telling the tragic tale of a young gobbler living dangerously outside of the pecking order. He’s trying to establish his dominance, but has yet to fully learn fear. The Half-Strut Jake is highly effective in attracting all gobblers by challenging their dominance… because he’s an easy fight. Combine the Half-Strut Jake with your favorite Avian-X LCD hens and watch tragedy unfold in your decoys.

LCD QUARTER-STRUT JAKE The nation’s longbeards have one more thing to fear this spring – the Life-like Collapsible Decoy (LCD) Quarter-Strut Jake from Avian-X. Featuring a true-to-life body posture, incredible feather detailing, and a revolutionary no-flake paint scheme, the Quarter-Strut Jake is hard to tell apart from the real thing. The Jake’s non-aggressive pose makes the decoy attractive to both dominant and sub-dominant gobblers, while its size – 15% percent smaller than a real jake – keeps it non-threatening and portable. Crafted from rugged DuraRubber, the LCD folds tightly and fits easily into a turkey vest, yet won’t crease or dent like earlier folding decoys. Realistic motion comes from a unique one piece folding stake system that allows for ample movement, but prevents the unnatural spin common with lighter decoys. The 24˝ stake assures the LCD sits higher, increasing the decoy’s visibility, even in taller grass. The Quarter-Strut Jake comes with a carry bag and collapsible stake.

LCD HENS Avian-X has spent countless hours designing and developing the ultimate turkey decoy – one to replace its own industry-leading LCD Hen. The new designs incorporate the highest quality feather detail ever created in the decoy world and has refined the true-to-life paint scheme to match the natural reflective feathers of a real hen. All of these features are packed into a 15% smaller decoy than the original LCD, making the decoy lighter, easier to pack and less dominant to real hens. Three unique decoy postures give the hunter flexibility to choose the correct posture for any situation; this was developed through years of studying body postures, moods, and behaviors of wild turkeys. Combine all of this and that is what you get when you put an Avian-X decoy in your turkey gear.

LAYDOWN HEN The body, head and wing positions of the Avian-X LCD Laydown Hen all work together to simulate a hen turkey’s true breeding position. She is squatting for the mating ritual and signaling to incoming gobblers that she is 100% receptive. It’s a compelling invitation to be sure… and one that’s been the demise of many a boss gobbler since the Laydown Hen was introduced in 2015. Accurate breeding posture aside, this pose can effectively double-down as a highly realistic dusting hen during mid-morning set-ups. Boom! The LCD Laydown Hen is just another way in which Avian-X delivers the most realistic poses and detail, while helping hunters tell the whole story in their turkey decoys.

RIO GRANDE & MERRIAM’S COMBO PACKS Whether you are in Rio Grande country or heading out west to chase Merriam’s, these combo packs are designed to mimic the exact colors and are sub-species specific. At Avian-X, we are committed to bring you the very first Rio Grande and Merriam’s production decoys ever created. We have spent hours reproducing these wildly accurate color schemes and life-like appearances of these subspecies. These packs include an LCD Jake Quarter-Strut and LCD Lookout Hen. The Lookout Hen is designed with an upright head, which is a higher profile and shows dominance. Not only attractive in the courtship ritual for drawing in gobblers, but also a very challenging posture to bring in hens. Combine that with the sub-dominant LCD Jake Quarter-Strut and you are hitting every aspect of a gobbler’s springtime ritual. The jake decoy is in a non-dominant pose, and will draw the fighting aspect out of all gobblers. These combo packs are sure to bring’em running. Both combo packs come equipped with one-piece collapsible stakes and carrying bags.

LIFELINE 360° Stand-still decoys are a thing of the past, thanks to the Avian-X Lifeline 360°. The 360° uses a small disk-and-pulley system to impart realistic hunter-controlled motion to almost any decoy, tom or hen. Once secured to the upright stake, and with the hunter positioned 15 yards away, the decoy can be swiveled in a 360° arc. Extremely lightweight and totally portable, the Lifeline 360° sets up in seconds and is great for fooling wary or decoy-shy longbeards. The Lifeline 360° includes a copy of Zink’s latest turkey hunting DVD, Turkey Time.
