REDNECK ENGINEERING AT IT's FINEST! Little spray paint from dollar general and you got it licked! ;)
I say make due, with what you got! All you need now is to take one of those Christmas cards that you can record on and some dental floss. And record your best call on it. Then run dental floss to it when turkey comes in range. Pull the string and decoy will call him on in! LOL You better patent it before I do! LOL
This was my first year turkey hunting and I done just fine using some ugly decoys that I got at Dicks sporting goods,$10.00 for 3 on mark down,lol.I guess you can spend 100.00 on a decoy if you want something pretty to stare at til the turkey come in,but the equipment ain't worth a dime if you don't have patience and do your homework.The biggest thing I found to be helpful is to practice being dead still,because a turkey will pick up on ANY movement it sees and leave you sitting there staring at your decoys crying.I was able to kill 2 gobblers by sitting in my camo leaned against a tree,with my shotgun resting on my knee, using my spursuader call and 3 cheap foam hens.Curiousity will bring them in and a good turkey load will help you carry them on out.I'm definately no expert,but I do know it don't take 'fancy decoys' to kill a turkey.Good luck :)
Yeah, I am interested in the decoys. I tried 3 or 4 times to contact you through the site, but kept glitching and returning right back to this page.
I also sent you an e-mail...I think...but not sure how your e-mail is set up and wether I have to be in your address book or not.
I'm also interested in one of your spursuader glass slat calls.
Do you need me to give you my e-mail or can you reference it by being a moderator?
Yes, It's Normal lol You will see that alot when you shoot the dominate Gobbler..When Multiple Birds approach..Focus on the Strutter because he's the BOSS!!! He will tolerate the other gobblers hanging around him because Turkeys like being around other Turkeys but if 1 tries to steal the action by strutting in front of the dominate Bird, The Boss will let him know in a hurry and a Fight starts...The subordinate Gobblers will attack the fallen Bird to level the odds of all the times he whipped up on them...Kinda like Kicking someone after they are down if you know what I mean, And a new peaking order starts to see who will become the New King Strut...This is the reasoning behind using a Jake Decoy...The Longbeard approaches and thinks the youngster is in on his game and attacks your Jake Decoy lol...It's a show to see for sure.
I have a Email that is spursuader@hotmail.com and Yes The Site email is weird at times.
Hey GT, I have been in the market for a Slate, and would love to have one from a local guy that I could show around and learn how to use. This will be my first official turkey season since last year I was busy with a newborn. My son is now 14 month's and the wife is offering me some out to stock the freezer :)
Homemade Strutter
Check this Picture out lol...It doesn't take a $150 Strutter decoy to fool a gobbler...This is a Kingsford BBQ Bag homemade decoy. I only have the Avians because I got them at a deal but you speak of cheap $10 Decoys..I tell ya...I have killed countless Gobblers with a Single $10 Feather flex Hen on a stick!!! At times you don't need decoys at all...I don't like using them in a wide open area like the field you speak of because it gives the Birds longer to figure them out...In the woods is where I like to be....I have several decoys that I would Sell including a Flock of 4 by Cherokee Sports that are inflatable and very realistic if your interested...Good Luck
