favorite turkey decoy?

[Dirtybird]

Bat man, I used the BTD last season and was astounded with the results.

I've used the Best Turkey Decoy Jake and the Avian X Feeder hen for the last two years, just amazeing how the Turkeys respond to these lifelike decoys. I think you could probably just use the jake alone and do just as good. In the last two years I have had 16 Gobblers in to these decoys, I think every one of them came directly to the jake. My partner uses the Avian X hen and Jake and does just as well.  RW

I am by no means a good turkey hunter.  It took me years and years to finally kill one with my bow.  But Joey pointed me in the right direction.  EVERY single year, I would get multiple birds in shotgun range but then they would shy away.  For years I thought I was doing something wrong in my calling.  First year with a DSD decoy and my wife and I both killed our first birds in two days.  Not to mention the multiple birds I lured in for buddies who then MMMIIIISSSEEED them!  The cheap foam decoys are great with a gun.  In fact I will even say killing turkeys with a gun would be easy where I hunt since I routinely get them in gun range.  But getting them into bow range seems to take a more convincing setup.  I am now convinced that I would be better off with no decoy at all than to put a not so real looking one out.  Again. I am NOT a very successful turkey hunter, but my close calls/encounters went up probably 500% when I spent the money on a realistic looking decoy.  Like I said, I would rather not have a decoy than have a not so convincing one.
