For good fun, put some of those out on some heavily pressured public land and get far away and watch.   :fud:  :OGani:  :goofball:

This must be some kind of psychological experiment to see how dumb/gullible a person can be.  What kind of crazy garbage can we peddle before someone says enough is enough?

I'm buying 5. Gonna put one on each finger on my off hand. So when I see a group of turkey I'll just wave. From the reviews I can safely assume they will come running thinking it's just 5 new buddies. Then when they are close say 66 yards or so I'll shoot em. I'm pumped. Should tag out within 10 mins of sunrise. May not even have to leave the truck.

If this truly takes off, I'm going to start selling 20 ounce bottles of purified instant water. You'll just need to add 20 ounces of your favorite purified water.

laughable-yes!!  But really its no different than the gobbler decoys in popular use today.  And definitely not any more dangerous as "fanning".  20 years ago people laughed at any kind of turkey decoy, look at the market know.  Will I use one- no. Will they help while hunting- who knows.  Will they sell any - yup.

Back when we had pheasants in California, we had a friend who had some property with a few birds, and he was paranoid that someone would come in and poach and kill "his" birds.

A bunch of us went on a very successful three-day pheasant hunting trip, and I saved all the heads of the pheasants and piled them in his parking lot...  Pretty sure the FBI was called in to investigate...

Back OT...  Actually that head looks pretty good...  Could work to replace the head of another crappy jake decoy I have, or be a good option for someone making a decoy with a jake cape... 

I remain dubious about climbing up a tree and inserting those heads where I want birds to roost though...  Heck, I remain dubious about climbing a tree period...

If they are hollow, they'd make a good ball hitch cover for your truck.

Well, if Brian T. & Jeff G. say they work...  they must be good! I'm gonna wait for the "Roost Hen", myself. I mean, really...how stupid do they think we are? Hen heads are going to attract A LOT more gobblers. Just sayin'

ACTUALLY WORKS! Brian T. on Mar 02, 2016
I ordered a few last week and they showed up the other day. I have a flock of birds nearby but they do not roost on my property. I put two of these heads in the big oak tree behind my house and guess what? They birds actually hung out there all afternoon today and gobbled up at the decoy heads. What's even more wild is they fly up in that tree tonight to roost. Couldn't believe it. Very happy so far.

CAN'T WAIT TO TRY MINE. Jeff G. on Mar 01, 2016
Just arrived. Great quality, very sharp bright coloring. Can't wait to put the 4 out shortly in the tree I want them to use more often for roosting. Their other roost is across the road on private property I can't access so this could be a huge help for me.

I'm not buying any until they come out with the gun barrel attachment so I can sneak right up on unsuspecting gobblers.   :fud:

Yep especially when they are telling you that your saving $23 which puts the original cost at $43. Better hurry up and get them now... :TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny:

I'm going to paint my gun like a tree branch, mount one or two on the barrel, sit back and shoot'em as they fly in to roost on my gun.

Anyone want to buy some calls....probably won't need them anymore!

Agreed!  :toothy9:

The sad part is, they'll probably make a small fortune on them.  ::)
