Cherokee Molded Head Turkey Decoy Flock

Warning: Hunt with caution! These decoys are extremely realistic and could easily be confused for the real thing by another hunter. The molded heads were designed using a cast from a freeze-dried turkey head for an extremely realistic shape. The photo-printed, compact, inflatable bodies hold the molded heads so you get lifelike movement in the slightest breeze. The wobble head will peck, then look left and right, mimicking a feeding bird. The "Juvenile Delinquent" bird is in a semi-strutting position, which mature toms find extremely aggravating. Take any tom's attention away from you and direct it towards Submissive Sally. Not only does she look realistic, but the inviting pose will have the most weary gobbler's running to get to her. Flock includes: Submissive Sally, Wobble Head Hen and Delinquent Jake.

Tom and Sally, August 28, 2009
By Anonymous from SD

"Bought these two for Spring 2009 hunt and they worked great. Was a bit concerned about the reflectiveness, but looked very lifelike in the field. Fooled turkeys. Stakes need some work - not much thought put into these for stability in muddy ground (could be longer)."

Works for me, August 10, 2009
By footnahalf from Southern Illinois

"I got these decoys as a gift and I wasn't too keen on blow up decoys. That was until a 28 pound tom with inch and a quarter spurs took one look at these decoys and came looking for love and a fight with the jake.Now his fan is on my wall.The jake took a beating but repaired him and cannot wait until fall season. Good price great product."

Mixed Feelings 3.5 Stars, May 24, 2009
By JPad from Oz Land, KS

"I used the flock for the Spring 09 Turkey season. The realism of these decoys allowed me to tag out with two great Toms. Make sure you get plenty of air in the subdued hen as the neck will buckle under a stiff breeze. The stakes I received were black not pink as advertised. Inserting the larger portion of stake in the decoy will prevent it from moving in the wind. Inserting the small portion will allow a stiff breeze to give the decoy movement. The feeder hen's body is pretty small. I would preferred it be a little bit larger. I found the stake height to be ample assuming you have all the pieces. Read on...

The main issue with the product is the stakes. I like the two piece design because it makes them more compact but the first time out I lost half a stake . This could easily be prevented if the manufacturer would have secured them with some elastic cord similar to the design of a tent pole. Lastly the two piece stake design can easily turn into 3 pieces as the larger portion of the stake is actually two pieces glued together. Just pulling the stake out of mud separated the stake. Not sure if I will be using these decoys or not next season as I will need to figure out what I am going to do for stakes.

I am concerned how well the decoys will hold up after multiple seasons. I guess only time will tell assuming I use them again next season. If I do, I will consider purchasing more feeder hens as if you look at a flock in the field, most the birds have their heads down."

Shot nice tom with these, May 9, 2009
By opster246 from N. ILL

"I was a first timer in the woods this year (for turkey). Shot a 10" beard with 1" spurs. I left the jake decoy in the truck - used the 2 hens and had 2 nice toms come in. Also had 2 hens go right up to the decoys after coming off the roost. Seemed to work OK. The wire for the feeder head fell out right after I opened the box, but I epoxied it back in - seems OK now, but a brand new product shouldn't fail right out of the box - just glad I caught it at home. I had no problem keeping the decoys inflated. The hens only needed 2 breaths of air to fill. Compact nicely for carrying, very light weight. The stakes are black - not pink like the picture. Seemed to have a bit of a glare in sunlight, so I set up so the decoy would be between the sun and the birds. Didn't seem like the bobble head of the feeder did much moving - even with a light breeze - seemed more of a hassle when moving between locations. Looks neat at home, but ended up being more of a hassle in the woods when running and gunning."

Decoys, May 5, 2009
By MoMan1 from Missouri hunter.

"The heads look great, but the bodies have to be inflated and have not enticed any turkeys to come check them out in the six times I've tried them and the two times my friend tried them. They look OK to me but the turkeys just are not interested so far."

Cherokee Molded Head Turkey Flock, April 21, 2009
By BigGoober from New Iberia, Louisiana

"Great product, called in two gobblers opening day. They hit the Jake four times until they knocked him down. Did not damage him at all. As my son and I were lining them up for a double, they were trying to line up the feeding hen for themselves. 100% satisfyed, easy to carry and set up plus they lood like real turkeys."

cherokee decoys, March 24, 2009
By AlanS46 from mn

"I have not used these in a hunting situation just yet, but I'm very happy with them. You can fit all three in your pocket. the heads are very real looking. I like the stakes in that you can use either the large or small depending on how windy it is. only reason they did'nt get 5 stars is because I hav'nt used them hunting"

Molded Head Turkey, February 5, 2009

"These decoys are fair but tend to loose their air after several hours which requires reinflation, no biggie just annoying. They're easy to carry and setup in the field."

Awesome!, December 9, 2008
By hunterchic71 from West Virginia

"I bought the molded head turkey decoys for my son. When I open the box I was shocked at how real they look! They look more life like than our gobbler mount! Now I'll have to get a set for myself! If you are a serious turkey hunter like I am; you need these decoys!
Thanks for this awesome product,
Sandy"

Cherokee Decoy Flock, May 27, 2008
By GreenMountainHunter from Vermont

"The Individual decoys are undoubtably the most realistic I have used. On multiple occasions I had hens walking in and around the decoys. However, while I was setting up for my first use of the decoys, I broke the first stake. After the second use, the removable head of the feeding hen became amoung the missing. After the fifth time I used the remaining decoys I couldn't separate one of the stakes and by the time I got home that one was broken. I'm glad always have extra stakes on hand. Fix the stake issue and change the clip on the bobble head decoy so it will stay attached and you have got a great set of realistic decoys!!"

They really look real. Really., April 29, 2008
By milandman from Lansing, Michigan

"These are very life like! I put them under the bird feeder in my yard and the neighbor even had to do a double take to tell they were not real. I got my gobbler opening day of Michigan Turkey Season 4/21 easily, a nine incher that weighed 22 lbs, had a choice of 13 different jakes and toms that morning. The one hen decoy really fooled the hens who stuck around and added additional life to my display. One hen even kissed my hen decoy. Cool. The decoys move freely which will bring in the birds from long range. Couple things I did not like though, 2 of the stakes broke on first use, I had some that would fit so no big deal. The wobble head of the hen does not stay on very good, they could have made it better to stay in place. I tried calling Cherokee Sports, you only get a recording, no one has answered after several days of trying to call them for replacement parts. If you're a true turkey hunter, buy these decoys and get rid of all your old ones."

Two dead turkeys...., April 13, 2008
By duckman87 from madcity WI

"I got them a month before season and they smelled bad so I blow them up and let them air out.... Morning of the hunt and We used the jake and the hen and to my suprise they were alsome. two toms came running in and killed my jake decoy.
he pecked the head and spured the decoy, popped it and broke the stake, and continued to stomp on it. My kid finally got a clean shot and killed his first turkey. And saw a show of a life time , now i can eat turkey and hope the patch kit works. I gave it a four because it pops easy and the stake broke. Butt can't want to use it again and get mine."

Outstanding Product, April 10, 2008
By Roostem from Indiana

"I just received this item in the mail. Here's what I can say so far: inflating the decoys is simple. The valve is the sort you'd find on a beach ball. Simply bite the bottom of the valve (gently) and breathe easily. Each decoy inflates with a few breaths. The valve tucks into the body nicely - again, like a beach ball. Once inflated, the quality of the graphics on the decoys bodies is evident. Great color, great detail. Add the head to any of the decoys, and the realism of the decoy is amazing. The Jake's head is attached to the body, while both hens heads are manually attached after inflating. One hen (the feeding hen) has a bobbing head. The other hen's head can be rotated to look some particular direction. The stakes fit easily into the bodies. Each stake has a skinny and a fat end. With a light breeze, these light decoys will have nice motion. With heavy breezes, put the fat end into the decoy to limit motion. From 10 yards away, it seems like I am looking at a live flock of turkeys. By the way, the molded heads are astoundingly realistic and vibrant with color.
My concern prior to taking them into the field is this: deflating them. I can easily pull the plug, gently bite the valve, and gently squeeze the decoy to let the air out. But this takes some time, especially with three decoys. I think I will get some kind of mesh bag for hauling the decoys after inflating the first time, then deflate when I'm done for the day.
There is also the risk of blasting a decoy with a couple pellets. Frankly, for the visual quality of these decoys, I consider it worth the risk. It comes with repair cement and a couple patches."

Very real, March 25, 2008
By Aroney from Mother of twin boys who love to hunt.

"The decoys purchased were so real I am thinking about using them at Thanksgiving as a table top decoration. I bought these for my twin boys who are 12 years old and avid hunters. The price was good but I was disappointed that the big tom turkey was just too expensive to buy."

Delinquent Jake, March 16, 2008
By H2OFOWL from Orrington, ME

""Just received the DELINQUENT JAKE and am very impressed. The decoy had actually suffered a puncture in shipping and I used one of the included patches just to see how it would work....It worked so well and was so "invisible" I decided to keep the damaged decoy instead of exchanging it. After setting it in the yard and letting the wind move it around on the stake I'm convinced it's by far the most realistic Jake decoy on the market. I didn't give it 5 stars only because I haven't used it in a hunting situation yet and this is my 1st experience with inflatables.""
