Turkey decoys

Fellas,

Do you really think that expensive turkey deeks make all the difference?? I've always used the cheapys and when the paint started to fade then I got another pair. Usually takes a bunch of years for that to happen though. Is expensive the way to go??

if they have some movement is what I think is all that is required.

No, I use Delta cheapos, trust me, they dont care.

Well....hopefully it's my muzzle blast going by the decoy that gives it some movement. ha, ha I'll know more tomorrow.

dude, i've been using el cheapos forever man, same set, jake and 2 hens, had the set for 4 years now, and i kill birds every year...well, not this year, i didn't go...LOL

It cracks me up to see these guys getting all worked up over the most realistic, expensive decoys out there. Turkeys are some of the dumbest animals out there. They don't know feathers from paint.

It's just another fine example of hunters going for the latest and greatest. It's no different from fishing. Lucky Craft gets away with selling lures for 20 bucks, but I catch just as many fish on a wore out 3 dollar rattle trap as the fella using that expensive lure.

There's time when paying for quality makes sense.....but I still fail to see the point in ridiculously realistic turkey decoys.

You've never hunted turks up here. Those dang things are smart as hell!!


Speaking of which....wish me luck!! I'm gonna go and try to smoke one tomorrow with the old Rem 870!

I've killed more birds with an 870 than anything else. Give 'em hell.
