By the time the turkey gets close enough to your decoy to see the missing paint he should be flopping on the ground dead.

Has too much time on their hands
I have an Avian X hen and Jake.
To be honest though, 99% of my turkeys are shot in the hardwoods without decoys -- and that's just the way I like it!

Sounds like you need a hunter decoy to cover the other spot
Time in the outdoors is never wasted

One thing I have learned over the years, if you buy cheap products you get cheap results (lifespan). I've used foam decoys painted by myself when I was a kid lol. But I bit the bullet bought the tom + jake + hen with the remote for the strutting Tom. Bought the setup 6 years ago? 12 birds since... and doesn't look like I'll have to buy new anytime soon.
Avian-X was the brand- bought the laydown hen + Jake.
Bass pro sells some that are $9.99 (US) on sale right now "REDHEAD" brand which I have also used, they were the ones that after 5-6 years they faded.

I will be buying the Avian X HDR hen and jake ( 169.99 and 179.99 respectively minus 10% and free shipping from Sail ). You can buy the same two as a package from Cabelas but no discount. I considered Dave Smith decoys but decided on the Avian.
I'm tired of piecing stuff together from Kijiji so I'm biting the bullet on the new ones.
As for people that have faded or dull decoys I have heard that using a bit of Armour All will give it a crazy sheen. I have not tried this but it seems plausible.
