Old Funky's latest hunt

[joey46]

After missing the early part of Florida's season for health reason I finally started to get back to chasing the big birds.  I'm blessed to have some very private land to hunt but in 5 previous trips found them strangely quiet.  Finally on Saturday (15th) they became active.  I was in a familiar spot watching mixed cover and placed my now well worn Funky Chicken at 30 yards.  The first to notice him was this group.  Cows are always fascinated by decoys.  When they left a nice 7" bearded 15# gobbler decided to check him out.  He is in the center of the  second picture.  Under the new Florida regs I had to record him before moving him from the spot where he fell(or quit flopping).  Took his final repose picture first.  Nice to experience a day when everything works out.

I've always thought the funky chicken was snake oil but so many post here show otherwise.

Congrats Mr. Joey, glad you were able to get out and enjoy the spring season!

Congrats, if I ever bring a decoy with me it's usually that one. Had him out when my daughter shot hers in S FL during youth season this year and not sure if it was because of the jake decoy, but I've never heard a gobbler drum as loud as I have that one.
