Gobble! headed to Martys with new tricks!
« on: March 03, 2011, 02:36:00 PM »
Putting a few touches on my gear before i head to Martys to chase those Osceolas. Cant begin to describe how much we cut up and laugh and such...Got some new tricks up my sleeve this year..check them out...Cant wait to get my new strutting DSD decoy out in the swamp...this rascal is off the charts. Repainted my bow blind to match my tree skirt....My tree skirt is new. I'm getting away from anything shaggy that could blow in the breeze...just trying to fade into the tree where i lean my chair against. I took 2 pictures showing how important even the slightest bit of camo is..one you see my gloveless hand, the other you dont. Hunting them blindless, you can never overlook every detail...Sometimes I even get lucky. :) ... Nothing like turkey hunting for me always trying to reinvent my gear and approach.....good hunting everyone

DBird...doesn't miss a trick.....if I have only enough room to tote only one hen, I tote the feeding hen..it's more a relax pose I have come to decide.....I love my Hardcore Gear upright hen but she got put in the coop due to the new DSD feeding hen...check out Zinks decoys also. They are 30 bucks cheaper.

That DSD is great, as they all are, I know a few fellows who run DSD Canada Geese great decoys. Put the foam muppets I use to shame.

So are you still using those dekes to steer the birds from where you don't want them to go or are they going up right in front of you to set up the shot?

Good luck down there, I know I don't have to tell you to have fun    :D

Joey, That's too cool....I think I finally found someone who "tweeks" their gear more than me.

You inspire us all to raise the bar     :clapper:  

That DSD strutter is wicked!

Good luck!

I think i might get confused and shoot a decoy that looks that real. Great work on the pictures.

Good luck and have fun.

Set-up looks good. What are you wearing behind the bow blind? Is it just camo cloth drapped over or is it some kind of camo suit? I agree on the feeding hen; maybe a tom might think she's playing hard to get and come right in. Good luck!

Awesome set-up! Did you make the bow-blind or buy it?
