Had the same thing happen this year with the Funky Chicken. Gobbler stepped out in a road bed 92 yards out. He went into strut and soon as he saw the decoy he came out of strut, putted and walked out of my life….
I'll be honest with you. Every turkey I have ever called in while using a decoy spooked when it saw it. Several years ago I finally gave up on them completely!
I don't think you're doing anything wrong. On public land they probably see them and get bumped all the time I guess. They might work better on private, but I'm not risking it lol

I've learned my lesson this time. Never gonna let that happen again.

Glad u said that. Not sure what I'm doing wrong with it. Don't think I've ever had a good experience with one. I'm not gonna risk it again.
