RE: Other animals coming to decoys? Share your experiences.
I had a real big hawk take a swipe at one of my foam decoys once. He must've realized that it was fake just before contact, because he pulled back at the last second.
Another time, Ihad a bigheifer come over and inspect my dekes. She kinda looked at its head and studied it for a second.Then, she gave it a biglick and tipped it over. It was likethat blasted cowwas trying to screw around with me. I advised her that I was armed, and that she should stop screwing around with an armed man and his turkey hunting. I also advised her that I have a real penchant for fresh beef, and that I love the fresh taste of hamburger. The cow didn't seem to care much and just kinda stood there beside my tipped-over decoy, staring at me. Apparently, cattle aren't phased by idle threats. I was just happy she didn't chew it up.
