The HDR (Heavy-Duty Realism) Hen, from Avian-X, features interchangeable heads and details molded from hand-carved designs, to promote the highest degree of realism possible. The latest in the company's Heavy-Duty Realism line of turkey decoys, the HDR Hen is built off a master carving with feather detail and lifelike features, but itself is blow-molded in rubber for a durable product that retains crisp lines. Up top, the interchangeable heads of the bird mean either an outstretched and assertive, or a resting and submissive posture is available to hunters, while rearward, a flocked tail section mimics a turkey's natural sheen and eliminates glare. Finally, the HDR Hen pairs well with the company's HDR Jake to create an enticing setup. For more information on this durable hen decoy, which includes an integrated stake, and comes with two removable heads and a decoy bag, please visit avian-x.comMSRP: $149.99
