Last week I was set up on the edge of a field, had my b-mobile and she mobile out, nothing was happening and all the sudden a hawk flew down and tried to sntch up my hen deke, scaired me a little. Then yesterday mourning I was in the same field but on a different side with just my little blow up hen deke, 2 hens were on the other side of the field and a hawk tried to snatch the smallest one, she jumpped in the fence row while the biggest hen blowed up and showed her stuff, that hawk then flew across the field and twice tried to snatch up my deke. Has any one else ever had this done to their set up, it just blows my mind a hawk would try a full grown turkey hen, a poult I can understand, but full grown turkeys.

I've seen the same thing with turkeys, never with my decoys though.  How did that inflatable hold up?

Didn't hurt any, I put that one on a cut limb, it makes it more flexable and moveable.

I was in the woods last week, watching a chimpmunk about 10 feet where I was set up. All of the sudden, this big white tailed hawk swoops down and tries to catch the chimpmunk. I hate to admit it, but it scared the heck out of me, lol. At least the chimpmunk got away.

I have never experienced that personally but I have heard of it happening before.
