Bow Hunter Derek Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Re: turkey Smear a little Hen In Heat on your decoy. It's just like deer hunting man. Don't take me seriously. Actually, Pray is probably a better answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ketchum Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Re: turkey In my experience, after a tom see's the decoy and don't come in. He wants it the decoy to come to him. Thats why I don't use decoys any more. I have killed very few birds using decoys. I have killed dozens without a decoy. Thats my experience.

Guest gobblergetter15 Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Re: turkey Id say pray is your best shot. How far out was he when he ignored your decoy? If it was within 50 yards I would have shot him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work well early in thw season and when toms are still establishing dominance. Otherwise, jakes and 2 year old birds tend to respond throughout the season(especially the jakes). I rarely use them anymore and it's gone a lot smoother for me. Borch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
