| Decoys have become standard gear for the Master Turkey Hunter. They add realism to
your set up, something a hunter-educated, year 2000 spring gobbler is looking for. The
reason to use decoys is to draw a gobbler's attention away from you and to entice him into
close range. Use decoys that look realistic....many don't. The highest quality models will
last many years, while the poor quality variety won't make it through a single season. |
| Collapsible decoys, both a Hen and Jake are preferred by experienced
hunters because they're quick and easy to set up, lightweight, and are noiseless when
carried. |
| The newest generation of decoys are Movement Hen Decoys and Full Strut Male Decoys. I have
extensively tested these models and can say without reservation that they provide added
realism--something a wary gobbler is looking for...and well worth the investment. I'm convinced they are the reason I bagged many gobblers that I would
not have gotten otherwise. |
| The experiences that have impressed me the most over the
past few years are how a Movement
Hen Decoy can bring a hung-up gobbler to your position. I've watched gobblers
hang-up out of shotgun range, even with a spread of decoys visible. Then, with a couple of
tugs on the decoy's string, imitating a feeding hen, watch them break loose and walk or
trot into easy bow range. |
| A Full
Strut Male Decoy or Jake
can also work wonders, especially during early-and-mid season. Early season gobblers are
still quite aggressive with any other male in the area, which is why male decoys work
through mid-season. Later on in the season, most gobblers have lost their aggressive
behavior and replaced it with great caution. Then is when a Movement Hen Decoy can
really shine. |
