New tactic has me thinking

[Old Gobbler]

They make it look easier than it actually is.....  You have to drag your azz holding a gun in one hand and a decoy in the other

They also make it look more productive than what it is in reality also , showing a few clips of gobblers from some loaded up ranch running in is misleading - in real world situations your not going to walk out to a field look over yonder ....spot a flock of aggravated territorial gobblers ....crawl out there a bit and be trampled to death by said gobblers -- you try that trick 20 times I bet it ruins or proves to be ineffectual 19 times , and the one time it gets any results there is a high chance of you spooking the gobbler , missing , perhaps one time getting a shot off

But to market the product as a cure all item , that can kill gobblers is misleading at best - in not saying it doesn't work , but there looks to be a strenuous learning curve - couple that with the fact you hanging onto a life size gobbler replica - it just looks not to be a practical choice

I hope they have a good product liability policy , right to sue or not ...someone gets hurt and the ambulance chasers will be fighting over who is going to wear this company out in the legal arena , and even if you do win you will be stuck with nervous vendors and footing the bill for the law firm , perhaps over and over .....

There are loads of poachers these days , and some use rifles - food for thought

[Rio Fan]

Personally, I'd never try that tactic. Like others have said, some hunters will end up getting shot and quite possibly killed.

If one chooses to hunt the Wild Turkey by depriving the grand bird of his wildness through the use of a decoy of any kind, what business is it of mine?

[WildTigerTrout]

Not I!

I like my skin in the condition its in right now, not covered with welts 

I agree what a DUMB thing to do.

[Recurve]

I agree the first time I seen this on outdoor Chanel.I though to myself this is one sure way to end your hunting career or any other career.

The best tactic (and one that I might use, on PRIVATE land) was a guy that had a real fan, and would stay in his setup area, and "wave" the fan at birds that appeared to be hung up out in a field -- or birds that he just wanted to jack with.

[redarrow]

No thank you. Not for me.  I don't juggle chainsaws either.

[Muzzy61]

I'm sure that probably works, but down here in the south we have a reason not to. Its called an Eastern Diamondback,and you don't want to crawl up on him.

.  Yep, my thoughts also.

[hs strut]

around here we have guys that shoot at anything that moves in the woods not to mention our poacher problem i see this getting someone hurt or worse this just seems to be one of those really bad bad ideas

[timberchicken]

I think it has a time and a place. Lone gobbler pitches out to the middle of a bald open field why not try it.  Every one said the same thing when the full strut decoys came out and I don't believe that increased the mortality rate for turkey hunters.
