The best decoy ever
ORIGINAL: furgitter
Anyone ever heard of this.I saw it on T.V. and the guy laid down in the middle of a trail with a fan in front of him.The gobbler came right at him!
No call needed.
the guy was hunting from behind the fan? that is dumb.
we do something like that, except we're not close to the decoy.
for archery turkey out of a Double Bull blind, wehad ourtaxidermist take a turkey pelt, put a plastic head on it, and rig up the fan to stick up.when the jakes and gobblers saw it they went running at it, literally. they apparently think its a dead bird. (if you don't know, turkeys uaually attack the bird that just got shot) no calling
it is by far the best decoy we've ever used. these are Merriams in open country, so it may be different in wooded areas
we shot 80 birds last year with bows and probably half of them came off that decoy.
one day, another guide took our first ever new decoy, so i just used a turkey we shot earlier in the day. it even worked.
if you don't believe it, we have it on video and i'll send you a copy (the dvd's aren't mine, so you would have to buy one from my boss)
it has made my job as a turkey guide alot easier
