Default RE: what decoys to use with what

If you have just started I would stay away from carrying or using a gobbler call. Making the call of a gobbler can be very dangerous. There has been cases where irresponsible hunters have shot in the direction of a gobbler call. That could ruin your day....

You don't need a gobbler call to successfully call and harvest turkeys Spring or Fall . Save your money...buy hen calls and practice, practice practice.... I have harvested many turkeys in several states without using gobbler calls.

For decoys I use the love triangle one jake and two hens. set them out 25 yards and face them towards the hunter, set with your back to a tree wider than your shoulders to break up your outline from the turkey's vision and to protect you from the possibility of someone approaching you from the rear thinking you are a turkey calling.


Use good common sense, be safe and have fun. Just remember no turkey is worth an accident....
