Default RE: Stubborn Gobbler

I quit using decoys several years ago but I still think there is a time and place for them.

As for having a tom hang up 75-80 yards out I actually like it. At that range it gives me enough time to turn my head VERY slowly and throw my calls ( mouth call ) behind me to sound like I have moved 150 yards or so away. I just try to sound like an excited hen but I do it at a lower volume. TRUST ME it works (80%). When you see him coming in just turn your head back around VERY slowly and nail him when hes close enough. It has worked for me far more than anything else I have tried. The real key is to not make a sound for about 5 minutes before you turn your head and throw your calls. It will be the longest 5 minutes of your life.
