MOJO revolutionized turkey hunting in the last few years with the introduction of the MOJO Scoot & Shoot style of turkey hunting by use of the Tail Chaser and Scoot & Shoot Decoys, both developed to facilitate the most aggressive and exciting style of turkey hunting where they come to you (aggressively) instead of you going to them, often called fanning. The Tail Chaser was a convenient method whereby the turkey fan (decoy) was attached to the shotgun barrel. The new Mojo Tail Chaser Max turkey decoy contains the basic original barrel clamp and support legs which allows the hunter to set the shotgun on the ground while it remains erect and to remain hidden behind it without holding the gun. Improvements in the Max version include an oversize fan to better hide the hunter with a gobbler head for added realism, comes with a redesigned hub to allow both the artificial fan furnished with the decoy along with a special hub that allows use of a real fan.
The hub mounting system has been redesigned to provide for more sight picture down the barrel and the use of optical sights.
Scoot and Shoot style of turkey hunting is not only the most exciting but adds a dimension to turkey hunting as it works best after the first few hours of daylight, after the gobblers are henned up, or grouped up in open spaces. So when calling is falling off later in the day, look for gobblers in the open and Scoot and Shoot them with the Tail Chaser Max.
Once you experience how turkeys behave when your face is behind a turkey fan, it becomes easy to see why you should never hunt without this turkey fan holder on your gun barrel even when calling.

MOJO Outdoors Tail Chaser MAX Turkey Hunting Decoy HW2453 FAQ
The MOJO Outdoors Tail Chaser MAX Turkey Hunting Decoy HW2453 is a shotgun-mounted turkey fan designed for calling, creeping and fanning tactics. The oversized fan helps conceal the hunter and firearm while presenting the appearance of a gobbler. This allows hunters to remain behind the decoy while approaching visible birds or waiting for an aggressive gobbler to close the distance.
The Tail Chaser MAX uses a barrel-clamp mounting system that attaches the turkey fan directly to a compatible single-barrel shotgun. Its redesigned housing is elevated to preserve more of the sight picture and accommodate optical sights. The decoy is designed to fit most 10-, 12-, 16- and 20-gauge single-barrel shotguns.
Yes. The Tail Chaser MAX includes an artificial oversized fan with a realistic gobbler head, but its redesigned hub also accommodates a real turkey fan. This gives hunters the option to use the included fan or customize the setup with their own preserved fan for added realism.
The included support legs allow the mounted shotgun and decoy to stand upright on the ground. This lets the hunter remain concealed behind the oversized fan without continuously holding the firearm. The folding design also makes the Tail Chaser MAX easier to carry between turkey hunting locations.
Fanning and creeping behind a gobbler decoy should only be attempted where legal and where every nearby hunter knows your location. Never use the Tail Chaser MAX near public roads, property boundaries or areas where another hunter could mistake the decoy for a live turkey. Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction and follow all local turkey hunting regulations.
