turkey decoy heads-up.....
http://www.keystonecountrystore.com/Decoys/A_Way_Turkey_Skins_Decoy_Cover/Page_1/DEC3225708.html
I've often wondered if, after seeing my decoy, turkeys make the decision not to come into my set. It's a darned good looking deke....but I've had 'em hold up outside of bow range a few times.
I just saw one of these on a friend's deke.....and I'm getting one shipped in here ASAP. It's awesome looking.
Just a heads-up. I don't even know where it's coming from (ordered it from my shop)...so the link is ONLY for the purpose of showing you what it looks like.

Its a nice idea, but not worth the price IMO. I'd be worried about how long they would hold up too. I haven't used them though so maybe I'm being too critical. Good luck with it and let us know how it works.

RE: turkey decoy heads-up.....
ya a lot of times, a decoy can be counter-productive also. theres also a lot of times where it will get your gobbler in range. we only hunt with them while were in a field.

RE: turkey decoy heads-up.....
Rory....you bring up a good question....
We'll likely be in a woods setting for most of the time we're hunting this weekend. I've heard other say the same thing about woods hunting.....and I've heard people say they still use one in the woods.
My bird from last year was killed in the woods....but to be honest.....they didn't "fully" commit to my deke. They saw it.....but didn't come in all the way to it. I'm not sure how NOT having one would have been "better", though, honestly.
I'd like to hear more about this. The woods we'll be in Friday are pretty thick.
Edit** They're also liable to come from EITHER direction, Friday.
