Well I would have to say that If your shooting turkeys over decoys there's something wrong here,any time I use them and happen to have turkey's come into the decoy, I shoot them beside the Decoy <img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>.
Guy's, they must be seeing you Drawing on them ! <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> Maybe ya all should use RealTree Camo then <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>.

I understand everyones views on this question in all angles. I do use decoys but not all the time. It depends on the timeing and setup in the hunt.
Lets see last spring I used them a number of times,and even once I left the stupid thing in the PA woods still on the stake, I called her Tammi. Jalvja never did go back and get it !<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> then ,get this we all came back to Ontario,Jalvja and I and another great guy, takes a walk back behind the house. Well about 1/4 mile back and if we don't find A decoy on a stake!<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> I yell for someone and no answer, so I walked over, and heres a different make decoy with a hole eat in the side of the head , this thing has been here for a while. I pick it up and in the vest it gose. Well a week later the wife and I are setup on this Old Boss Gobbler thats been worked by everyone in Ontario. Everytime I see it in the field you stop to glass it and it runs into the woods.It won't answer a thing and won't gobble to locators, We seen it one day about 9:00 am and way it went again , so we quietly went out to the Zone and set this old hole in the head and sat back I called with one series of soft yelps and couple of Clucks and took the call out and put it away. The wife and I are setup beside one and other, I whisper to her that we'll just sit and see what happens.Not more then 5 minutes and I slowly turn my head and there this Big Struttin Boss Gobbler coming right up the field to the Old Hole in the head. I whisper to Jannette and she get ready,the birds walks right up 10 yards away from the decoy in Full Strut, the head is <font color=red>Red</font id=red>and <font color=blue>Blue</font id=blue>. The Fan is full and he's right on the end of the Barrel, man, he just loves this decoy, he can tell that she is a stupid one, He can see right in the hole in her head No brains<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>, Bang! 20.5lbs,9inch BD, and 1 inch spurs,,, not one Gobble in the whole hunt. I don't use decoys all the time, But always have one Old Hole in the Head with me all the time...BT

I like them with Long Sharp Spurs....
