Well, it is now legal in Alabama to use turkey decoys. I know all the pros and cons of using decoys but want to at least have some in my bag of tricks. I hunt open fields a lot and thought they might help on occasion.
Any recommendations as to which brand, etc., I should get?
I own a foam
2 half shell cary lites
2 rubberr carylites
2 full bodied
and a Jake decoy......
I have palyed with lots of set-ups during off season and have experimented with different set-ups.
I prefer my Carry lites as they are easy to fold up. I do not like those foam decoys as they look too fake but fake is good if hunting in an area populated by lots of hunters!
Getting so close the real look can be dangerous as I have had hunters Ninja sneak my decoys!
Now as others I use them only when it gives me a clear advantage which is not all that often.
Let your callin' do the talkin'!

Hey Sour, good to see you again. I've used several different ones. I always carry one of the blow up ones, they're easy to carry. I've lost a couple of the foam ones from falling out of my vest
I use Carry Lites because the color of them matches the hens better in my area than the others. I've had different results with decoys. Several times the lead hen saw the decoy and turned right around and led the flock away. I've also had hens and gobblers and a coyote that were completely fooled by them. Guess it also depends on the birds.
Which Decoys?
