When you think you are good turkey hunter and have figured them out, that's when they will take you to school.

Congratulations!!!!

Congrats. I have been trying to do this since the season opened. I have had many encounters, but my big strutting decoy keeps scaring the birds. I am going to try it again with just a plain jake and hen decoy. Glad it came together for you.

I had the same problem...rather than attracting tom's even my jake decoy would cause a gobbler to avoid the setup. Given I see so few, that can be really frustrating. Maybe it's a Mississippi thing? Regardless, I now go with just one lone hen and that seems to work best in the local that I hunt

This is my first year to use one so I don't have very much experiance. I was sold on the DSD based on what others have said about them. I sort of reasoned that for what they cost, they wouldn't have been around long if they weren't superior. Certainly yesterday made me a believer.

Congrates Mark, There can't be a better feeling in the world when your carrying out that gobbler and his head is bouncing off your back side.

I bought the Carry-lite pretty moma feeding hen this year. For the money, it looks good but I really like the DSD! That will have to be next seasons purchase. Wish I had the funds to purchase one this year.
