I only hunt Rios where I live, and a high looking Jake is the ticket, killed a pile of Toms over that decoy! Every now and then I get a skittish bird that will turn away, but not very often. Great info for sure.
I have a full strut tom decoy and man I got shot a nice long beard because it! Had a hen and a tom decoy out and he charged my decoy! Got him at 6 yards it was awesome
When you use a decoy, how do you know whether he responded to sound stimulation (calling) or sight stimulation (the decoy)? I don’t use decoys because Ned in the first reader can kill one with a decoy, while communication requires practice and an understanding of turkey language, in essence, the game.
This is my current struggle. I know exactly where they are but it's to thick to get in there with them but I can't get them to come out in the plot to shoot. They'll gobble at me like crazy for about an hour and come close but refuse to step on out. I'm gonna leave the decoys at the house tomorrow
Often times it takes a little coaxing to get them to close the distance. Have you tried purring when they get to their closest point? You may just need to set up in a different area besides the food plot as well.
I only hunt turkeys with a mouth call and a pack of cigarettes rolled into my shirt sleeve wearing cut off jean shorts and old jungle boots. They don't need no decoy or chocolate and flowers. Are we hunting or having Valentine's day? Gobble gobble.
Scheels at it again, putting out extremely useful knowledge, with others that are the best at what they do... Love you guys!
Much appreciated!
I like the crisco hot spring comment. Thanks for sharing some of your secrets Mr. Wattle.
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the info
Wish me luck I’ll be going bow hunting for the first time in April. Stoked about it
Best of luck!
Really great info. We had all sorts of experiences with decoys early and late. Your right on.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks.

Glad to hear you've found a setup that works well. Good luck this season!

I bet that was a fun experience! Congratulations on your turkey!
Merrium or rios, the two breeds near me. So a decoy is a good option.
Waddellin thru Lake Crisco for those hardheaded onery Sumbitches
Good luck!

Often times a turkey will hear you first and you can see a change in posture when they see the decoy.

Hunting is your passion as I do, we share videos with the same content, I wish you success 👍
Unfortunately, in Michigan it's illegal to hold or manipulate your decoys so you either got to set them out or forget about it.
It definitely pays to know the rules and regulations of your hunting area.
First year hunting in Michigan. I’m running my deer camo and just chilling in hedge rows but I need a blind so bad.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved

Gobble gobble.
