Justin, I made the exact type of decoy with one of my real Jake fan mounts about 4-5 years ago! It has brought in a few dead big ole' tom's since that slight modification to a real Jake fan! The real fan looks so much better than the fake one that came with it! I agree with the shorter beard as well, makes it more looking like a subordinate jake gobbler then. It looks like you had a lot a fun with the project and with a fantastic lil helper as well. Good luck and keep us posted on how you do with it this upcoming turkey season! Good luck my friend and great pics!
