I agree to disagree , yes in some ways voice's i'm sure can scare birds. But I've also seen birds coming into decoys that are fully committed with the fight or passion of love that you can just about do anything you want. Talking , making movement whatever .. How many birds have you shot with other gobblers in tow and after you make the shot and jump up those other birds are like trying to whip the flopping gobbler on the ground and you could of killed another one if legal or just had to run the other gobbler off... In a sense it's like the birds are in a trance or whatever you want to call it....

The above is one of my argument against deccoys.  They take a gobbler from his A game to his Z game.

"[T]he changing environment will someday be totally and irrevocably unsuitable for the wild turkey.  Unless mankind precedes the birds in extinction, we probably will not be hunting turkeys for too much longer."  Ken Morgan, "Turkey Hunting, A One Man Game
