I guide this guy one spring morning. As soon as we heard the birds, i LOOKED BACK AND HE WAS STICKING DECOYS ALL AROUND. I laught so hard it could have spook the bird 200 yds, away. He told me several time how many turkeys he's seen. I said well follow me if you want one. He did and we harvested two nice birds. Leave the videos and marketing at the store. Hear the bird get close make some calls, make that tom look for that hen. Keep it simple. Don't let the marketing make you work a day you can take off to gun these birds. My total gear under $750 and the 870 3 1/2" cost $450 clothes $125 calls 1 box and 1 slate $50. 1 locator rarely used $20 decoys zip. Don't make the rich man richer, enjoy life.

Exactly.... and why should this sport be made "easier" ? It's SUPPOSED to be difficult to get a bird in range.... I fear we're creating Lazy hunter, unwilling to pay the hard dues. If you're a true dyed-in-the-wool turkey hunter, it's supposed to be just YOU..your call... and the Gobbler... that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.....

... I reckon a scattergun ought to be added with the calls.......
