Description

The Avian-X HDR Jake Turkey Decoy is designed to push dominant gobblers over the edge when it matters most. Slightly smaller than a mature tom, this jake decoy hits the perfect balance of non-threatening enough to draw interest, yet bold enough to trigger a territorial response. The realistic quarter-strut posture and subdominant feather positioning send a clear message: this jake is comfortable in the area and willing to challenge if needed.

What sets this decoy apart is its two interchangeable head options, allowing you to adjust the attitude based on the birds you’re hunting. Use the aggressive, curled head to provoke dominant gobblers, or switch to the straight, submissive head when pressured birds need a softer presentation. Pair the HDR Jake with an Avian-X Feeding Hen to create a convincing breeding scenario that pulls gobblers into range fast.

Built using Avian-X’s durable blow-molded construction, the HDR Jake holds its shape season after season while maintaining lifelike feather detail and natural movement. An integrated carbon stake, realistic leg stumps with spur detail, and included carry bag make this decoy easy to deploy, transport, and adjust on the fly.

What Avian-X Customers Are Saying

“I wouldn't change a thing!”
“I've been using the Avian-X HDR series decoys since they came out and they have never let me down. The HDR Jake and Hen is my favorite combination. The realism of these decoys is second to none, they are super easy to setup, the included stake carrier is clutch, and I love the carrying bag that's included. All things considered, I wouldn't change a thing!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Best Investment”
“I never thought changing the type of decoys I use would result in the success I now have. I have 3 decoys now, plan on at least 2 more in near future. My stepson just killed a super nice tom, at 15 yards while he was standing next to a HDR Jake decoy.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When should I use the aggressive vs. submissive head?
A: Use the aggressive head when targeting dominant gobblers early in the season, and the submissive head when birds are pressured or late season.

Q: Does this decoy work best alone or with a hen?
A: It works great alone, but pairing it with an Avian-X hen decoy creates a highly effective breeding setup. 

Q: How durable is the decoy?
A: The blow-molded construction is built to withstand multiple seasons of hard hunting without losing shape or detail. It's a heavy duty, yet lightweight powerhouse.

Q: Is the stake included?
A: Yes , it includes an integrated carbon stake, with storage built into the tail for transport.

Q: Does the decoy spin in the wind?

Pro Tips for Using the Avian-X HDR Jake Turkey Decoy

Match the Head to the Bird’s Behavior

The interchangeable head options allow you to adjust the decoy’s attitude to current conditions. Use the aggressive head when targeting dominant gobblers early in the season, and switch to the submissive head when birds are pressured or less responsive.

Control the Approach With Placement

Position the jake 10–20 yards from your setup and angle it slightly toward the expected approach. Gobblers typically try to confront a jake head-on, which naturally draws them into your shooting lane.

Add a Hen and Keep Calling Simple

The jake decoy is most effective when paired with a hen decoy, such as the Avian-X Feeding Hen. This creates a realistic breeding scenario and reduces the need for aggressive calling, allowing the visual setup to do the work.
