From the river bottoms to the hardwoods, life-like motion is often the key to making wary toms commit to covering those last few yards. Avian-X is now making the natural appeal and comfort of movement simpler, thanks to an all-new motion system that makes a spread come alive.

Decoy on motion system

Known for both realism and durability, Avian-X decoys are crafted to mirror the real thing and evaluated brutal conditions. New to their growing assortment, though designed and tested to the same standards, is the X-Factor Motion System, a remote-operated solution that appeals to birds’ natural curiosity by adding realistic movement to any setup, anywhere. Ideal for highly mobile, run-and-gun-style hunters, it’s as compact, lightweight and easy to carry as it is simple to deploy. Because the system is compatible with most full-body turkey decoys available on the market, all a hunter has to do is attach one of the dekes they’ve already hauled afield to a standard stake and the supplied decoy motion cord, then attach the included alligator clip atop the X-Factor Decoy Motion System.

This all-new, turkey-tricking motion system comes complete with a:

  • Motion box wrapped in rugged, water-resistant housing that delivers protection in any weather conditions.
  • Push-button remote control and motion cord, which allow hunters to power the unit discretely from a distance.
  • Two field stakes to ensure the whole unit remains upright and operating right where you left it.
  • Four AA batteries (not included) provide enough power to keep the system operating for as long as 12 hours.
  • Bonus: The X-Factor Decoy Motion System is also compatible with most goose decoy brands and styles currently on the market, meaning it easily pulls double duty—boosting realism to turkey setups during the spring, and adding life-like movement to waterfowl spreads throughout the fall and winter.
