Will This Work

[hanshi]

I made this turkey "decoy" in anticipation of turkey season. It's the same on both sides. Yes, I know; it does look like a third grader's Thanksgiving project. Would this attract a gobbler?

 

[smokeum54]

yep! ive done the same thing,ill try to post a pick of mine later. it does work better if you have two of them and place them at different angles.

Hard to say as a hen...but if you had a little red sock or red cloth you could slip over its head I think a gobbler would be more apt to come after it as a Jake to kick it's butt.
When I hunt a field edge using a Jake and a couple hens, the gobbler's that respond from the woods and see the Jake never come to the hens, they make a straight beeline to the Jake

 

[hanshi]

I might just make another that looks more like a jake, then. I could place the two at different angles. Thanks to both of you for the tips.

If is has been a year since I was with a hen, I would come running. Especially after closing time.

Some of my turkey hunting buddys have used lots worse an killed birds off of them. I've never used a decoy so personally I cant tell ya. But they have used homemade an yours is better looking :thumbsup:

I would say that would work on Coyotes too. If any of those feathers would move in the wind that would be a slam dunk. Ron

It'll work great Hanshi.

Be sure to post a "hero picture" for us! :thumbsup:

[dbutch]

That should work :thumbsup:

my 2 cents..
....add some light blue to the head
...keep it dry..
...paint the stakes flat black.....
...hope the feathers stay on during use.
Send us a grinning pic when the hunt is over....use the self timer!

I think it is cool let us know if it works.
