Not a Tommy, but maybe the next best thing

Most of us don't have a 500.00 mounted Tom in full strut(named Tommy) to use as a decoy like the Primos boys, but this may be the next best thing by Montana Decoys. Tommy worked wonders on their hunts.

You mean you don't have a mounted gobbler in strut to use as a decoy?

Yup and the gobblers came running to beat him up.

I'd make darn sure I was sitting NOWHERE near that thing, behind a big tree or wearing Kevlar or something! That thing would fool anybody!

I can hear the BOOOM and shot ripping through the woods now...

Aren't those decoys two-dimensional? If the big boy comes in from either side of that decoy, instead of straight on or from behind, he should feel confident he can whup an Ethiopian adversary, that is, if he can even see it from a side approach??

Gadget,
You need to stop by the Hazel Creek Taxidermy booth at the NWTF Convention this weekend. He has a new real mounted hen decoy out that I hear is TOP notch. I'm going to take a hard look at it myself, though it's a stem winder on the wallet.

Yes. Adams Co. and Jefferson Co. Might get in a hunt in Warren Co. or Rankin Co.

How 'bout you?

Had a friend that

Guy I know had a hen decoy at the perry turkeyrama. The thing was programmed to move the neck around robotically. It would go from a feeding position to a full alert. The head left something to be desired, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a trip to the taxidermist and probably $15. Thing was $289 though. . . ouch.
