[QUOTE="jimss, post: 1554132, member: 66919"] I don't know how many turkeys I've had that start towards my calling...when they don't see any decoys or don't see movement in decoys they head the other direction. When hunting high pressured birds turkeys may actually head the other direction when they hear calls or don't see decoys...or don't see movement in decoys! What works one day may not work the next! I constantly keep track of the reaction of turkeys to different calls, call timing/intensity, decoys, or use of no decoys. It's important to stay flexible and be willing to change things up if something doesn't work! As I mentioned in my post above...what works during the early season may not work later on. What Buck Buster mentioned in his post above definitely got the tom's attention...and worked! If he would have kept the same decoy and calls the toms likely would have avoided him. The disappearance of decoys and the different calls obviously changed things up and caught their attention. It's always good to do as Buck Buster did and think outside the box! Turkeys rely on their keen eye-sight and ears more than any other game animal! In fact, I would rank turkey eye-sight up there with antelope, wild sheep, and other keen-eyed big game. They don't have noses like a deer or elk but boy do they have eagle-like eyes and great hearing! This has always amazed me since turkey eyes and ears are SO tiny! [/QUOTE]
