DO YALL HUNT INSIDE WOODS WITH DECOYS

[GOBBLER CRAZY]

what about thined pines this year were cut and great logging roads in the middle of pines would you wont a decoys cause you can see all around pretty good

[Hooksfan]

I would rather have the bird come in looking for the hen in a thinned pine stand than to stick a decoy up in the middle of the main travel corridor and run the risk of the bird hanging up or spooking when they see the decoy.

Ill have them with me always. I dont use them all but Ive had more success with than without. Early season not so much but later on yea. Fields mostly, but i set mine up 10-15 steps from me. If he wants to hang up 30 yards from my decoy he's still a had lad.

HEY WHY DO YOU SAY NOT EARLY SEASON TO HUNT WITH DECOYS  

[turkey harvester]

In early season hens are vocal and available. the gobbler hears them all yelping and making their own noises and he will come to breed. Hunting pressure, predators play a factor later on in the season. If the gobbler has been called to some he may want something visual to see before he commits. He's anxious early and weary twords the end. Twords the end of season its best to have something that the gobbler can see, now he knows whats making the calls. He may commit or he might just stand there and strut and gobble. If i am hunting a field I will use a hen and a jake or full strut decoy, it will arouse his interest and even up the chances, sometimes. There is no rule for decoys to each his or her own. I've had more success with them than without them. Thats what I love about longbeards, very unpredictable.

I dont use decoys anymore i've had gobblers spook from them. I dont realy see any need for them in the woods anyway

[budtripp]

I use them when bowhunting, which I do in open areas that I've been watching birds using. In the woods with my shotgun, no. Just don't like carrying them when I'm running and gunning.

I dont use decoys in the woods i just try to pick a spot to set where the gobbler cant see where the calls are comming from until he is in range.
