Default RE: Struttin' tom decoy

I used one and called in my biggest bird ever! shot him at 2 yards. they had recently plowed the fields and i set him out along with a hen.....first called he nailed it not 50 or 60 yards away......flew down at 615 and i had a long shot at him, 50 yards or so. I waited and waited and he would only gobble now and then. I couldn't see him as I was in brush along the edge of the field. he was strutting over in the corner the whole time trying to draw the hen away from the strutter decoy.......finally came along the edge and i shot him at 2 yards.......it was awesome........got him mounted in full strut as well! i was on private land and i put the decoy out in the field so the only way if anyone shot at it, they would have to be right out in front of me to hit me.......oh well, i have used it once or twice but it gets to be a pain
