Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default Jake decoy head color????

I see some jake decoys with dull red and blue coloring on the head. Others are bright red and blue. What is better? Bright or dull?

It's about how aggressive you want the deke to look. More color means more aggressive. May be more likely to scare a subordinate longbeard.

Decoys Are Waste Of Money And A Waste To Carry More Fun To Shoot At

I agree! There's never been a turkey shot using decoys.

Feather flex makes a set of decoys with 2 jales and a hen, one jake is "AJ" (aggressive jake) with a bright head and the other is "PJ"(passive jake) with a dull head.
