I have a father that is an avid turkey hunter and a member of the nwtf state board his birthday is coming up and I would like to get him some new gadgets! I am considering a dsd jake decoy but want to get some other thoughts from other turkey hunters! I am new to the site and would love to hear any suggestions you have! Thanks for your help I giving my dad the perfect gift!
How much are you wanting to spend?
God Bless,

If he uses decoys at all the DSD Jake decoy is one of the best presents you could possibly give the man! :icon_thumright:
If he uses decoys the DSD jake a good gift, it's the single best decoy you can have in my opinion. I have all of the DSD's and I'm as big a fan of them as you can find. That said, I would consider getting a custom call made instead. For the same money as the jake decoy you could get a really nice, personalized, and truly one of a kind call or set of calls. Just my two cents, you wouldn't be going wrong either way.
If money will allow you could get him a new turkey gun ! :icon_thumright:
All great ideas! I was hoping to get it done around $100. The dsd's are awesome and think I may go that way just a little spendy for a decoy, but heard a lot of great things about them. I like the idea of a custom turkey call any you guys would recommend? Probably a pot call would be awesome. Please let me know what you think.
If he uses decoys, that DSD would be a most welcome gift for a turkey hunter.

Take a look through the Turkey Calls section of the forum and look for calls that you like, lots of custom call makers post there. You really can't go wrong with any of the call makers on this forum. There are lots of nice pot calls that can be had in the $35-$50 range, for $100 you could get a couple of calls made. Something like a matched pair of pot calls with two different playing surfaces would be very nice.
sense he's a turkey hunter he probably has a good setup already,but if not a choke tube would be nice
A nice vest is also an option if his needs replaced.

Get hold of flintlock on here and talk to him about some of his art its beautiful ,most old turkey
hunters I know would have a hard time changing any of thier equipment.
If that dont work out get him a Turkey Lounger .
When I read your post the 1st thing that came to mind was a custom pot call. If you make it a crystal/glass surface, you can have a picture of him put under it. It would be a one-of-kind call and make a great present. Like mentioned above, check out the call makers section....lots of very good call makers and GREAT people to work with.
A nice collecters call like a lamar Williams call would be a real treat for him!

I nice call would be a good present. If you look around on the forum, it's some guys that make some great calls that I'm sure he would be happy with.
We used an Avian X Quarter Strut Jake decoy last year and it brought a huge Gobbler a runnin'.
All of the ideas folks shared are good ones. Depending on how old your Dad is, maybe a real comfy seat (chair if he uses a blind).
Another idea would be to take all your Dad's turkey hunting photos and organize them into an album...a customized brag book. Look around for a unique beard & spur display (shelf).
a custom turkey call would be my choice. There are alot of great choices out there and in different price ranges.
I kind of made fun of them before I started using them but I am in love with the turkey lounger chairs. They are extremely comfortable and durable. Depending on the situation I sometimes have to abandon the comfort of my lounger but they are great when you get into them and need to set dead still for long periods of time. If you have one you can set up in the very best cover (not where a comfy tree is - although I still try to put my lounger up against a tree so I don't get picked off). Also great in wet conditions, get you up off the ground, etc. Love mine!
