[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1553293, member: 99718"] I quit using them several years ago, and burned the ones that I had ! So after hearing all the stories again about decoying I tried it again in 2018, I saw two gobblers about 800 yards away with hens in some fields and there is a wooded hollow between them and the field that I am set up in. They went over the hill away from me and then came back to where they were earlier, there was only one hen now with them, long story short, I started cutting and they got excited and didn't keep an eye on the hen, she ended up getting in a depression and they couldn't see her, they ended up going down into the woods ! I figured they may be coming and about 30 minutes later I heard a gobble out the field I was in and there was the two gobblers just entering it, one look at my hen decoy they folded up and quit gobbling and went across the field and into some other woods ! I went out and retrieved the decoy and got back into my blind . I waited about 1 hr. and started calling again with a different sounding mouth call and about 15 min. after my first series I saw them come back out from where they had gone into the woods, they came down a farmers lane 300 yards and I gave the largest one a ride home with me ! I know decoys work my own brother has had good success with one he mounted, they have even tried to mate it, but I have yet to have one come into a decoy ! So I kill them without using decoys, I never liked having to drag them around when I wanted to change locations or move on a bird, the ones you say you can put in your pocket wouldn't be bad if you had to move. So I basically scout and set up where the birds like to go and display, call a little and wait them out ! Works for me ! [/QUOTE]
