My daughter is now wanting to shoot her first turkey with me and I am looking at upgrading or changing my setup. I do hunt out of a DB blind and haven't had anyone teach me about turkey hunting. Heck, there weren't any around where I grew up. My buddy asked me if I wanted to go a few years back, shot a bird within the first hour or so of daylight and started chasing them the next year on my own. I have done the trial and error thing and mainly killed birds just by spending a lot of time in the blind, which I don't mind of course, but would like to become a better turkey hunter. I have been somewhat successful in the past (killed a couple with a bow and a few with a gun), but have had numerous times that just couldn't bring birds in that I could see. I know that happens and for many different reasons, but I am also always looking to improve my setup and in the past, just haven't spent much money on decoys. I usually go with a single hen or hen and jake setup and they are a $20-$30 decoy that looked the best to me in the store where I purchased them.
So do $100 and UP turkey decoys really get better results?
If you don't use the higher priced decoys, which ones do you use, what style (pose) and how many do you put out?
