I have a B-Mobile and have tried him a few times. I put him in a spot where I usually see turkeys and never saw a thing. I can go back to the same spot without him ant "POOF" the turkeys show. Maybe not the big gobbler but atleast I see turkeys without him..
 
I have mixed feelings...I have seen them come in and eat next to it, I have had toms come in and stop at 40 yards, and I have seen some run up to it and run right back out...????

Turkeys are weird... :D
 
I bought a b-mobile and hen this year. The 1st opening weekend I called to a tom for about an hour and he just would not come in. He stayed just over the ridge top gobbling. FINALLY he crossed over the ridge and when he seen the decoys he ran down to them. I blew it and rushed the shot, missed of course. Since then I have not had any luck using it. I may only set it up 1 out of 3 hunts because I hunt Fort Campbell and worry about other hunters.
 
I have had two cross wide open fields to come to it and I have had some not pay it a bit of attention so mixed feelings about it
 
I have seen it work for CBU several times.
I have a pretty boy and ain't never had SQUAT come close to it.
If I had to choose between the two I would definately go with the B Mobile.
 
Yep...worked like charm yesterday morning (should have been a double if my partner didn't miss).

FYI - Not really a B-mobile but a home concoction. I save a fan off a bird each year and put it on a decoy. I think the key is the real tail feathers. Yes...that particular fan is a few years old not to mention I think my buddy blew a few tail feathers off of it!

One other thing. I completely agree they can be hit or miss when you are hunting a single gobbler. However, I think they are deadly when you have a situation where two adult gobblers rule the roost. Two gobblers love teaming up and picking on the new guy (that's what happened yesterday). Both birds were puffed up butting up against the decoy trying to start a fight.
 
Heck yeah it works, but I would bet that 9 out of 10 times you would have killed that aggressive bird anyway. What you have to consider is that all those hunting shows are trying to sell you something so they can go hunting some more. If you take the number of hunting teams that Primos has and the AWESOME places they get to hunt. They could put a scarecrow in the field and make a 20 hunt video. Do the math they have about 7 teams of hunters hunting everyday from early march to late may in the best turkey spot in the USA. They don't need B-mobile to be successful and neither do you. But they sure need you to buy them so they can keep hunting those prime pieces of property. Let me finish by saying that I do think that the Primos team is an awesome group of guys, but they are salesmen as much as hunters.
 
I used b mobile opening day had several jakes come straight to him, but when the gobbler came into the field and saw ol b mobile he turned and went the other direction. yet on another farm my friend used b mobile and had a gobbler come in and attack the decoy.As BGG said I guess it just depends on the bird.
