Guesswhos actually looks better.... If I was a big gobbler, I wouldn't be scared of the funky chicken but guesswho's is just plain scary........  :TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny:

Saw one in Walmarta, "Ruptured Chicken" would be a better name...

That's funny right there!! Sad part is I bit on the squealin' hen! Wish I had that $12 back.

I had a guy tell me to just put a red sock on the head of a hen decoy! Probably cheaper than the funky chicken, but I always get blisters on that one foot I take the sock off of. Lol!

They have to sell it at Wally world to find people dumb enough to buy it

That thing looks absolutely ridiculous!! And I'm a decoy user, but I would never use that!! I like my decoys to look realistic, not like a circus clown!! ;D

I think you could double the thickness by adding some "Turkey Skinz".

If only flextone made the squealing hen. It would fit in perfectly with the rest of the product line.

If I was going to use a decoy the Funky Chicken would be the one, except I'd have three or four.   I can't believe nobody else is sold on it.

So yeah, they are REALLY stupid looking but has anyone actually tried one? I know birds,domestic chickens and turkeys in particular, will attack a messed up bird and eventually kill it...That instinct to kill an injured or unfit individual is pretty strong and pretty universal...I'm wondering if these stupid looking things will trigger that reaction?
That said, I'd certainly be hiding that goofy looking thing in my vest until I got away from polite society... :newmascot:

Buddy of mine uses a plastic gobbler head on a stick and that's it!

Thanks Tracky...I've used a jake fan on a stick and had plenty of gobblers come right over to check it out. They usually didn't stay long. Looked like they figured it out and would walk away pretty quickly but plenty of time to shoot. It's laughable but it worked...I'm just wondering if the stupid chicken will work too...

Sounds ridiculous, but I bet it works! Especially if it is in some grass. I'm going to try this this season, and I'll report on it as well. Got some detachable heads from my Cherokee-Sports inflatables that I'll give it a go with. Sounds like fun!

I dont own one, nor do I know if it works, but I bet the first diaphragm call looked pretty stupid to turkey hunters at that time.
