I hav taged out public WMA w out decoy - nobody gives a crap - if u killed every turkey w out a decoy - nobody is impressed - nobody
If u hunt fields r clear cuts - u May hav to change strategies - turkeys get hung up in wide open ground - unless u hunting some tame bird
I agree - for a kid- prob b good to hv - our hunters are shrinking in #
If u don’t want u r your kid to use one 👍
But nobody is impressed w decoy vs no - kill the freaking thing legally if u can - it ain’t a hero story
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self
We need prayer for our country now more than ever

I wish that were true but it’s far from it. No doubt. Maybe in other states, but ours are just growing from what I see. 15 years ago you could get all the property you wanted from deer hunters for little to nothing. Now, every club out there has at least a few. Most people laugh in your face if you even ask about PAYING to hunt turkeys. And I don’t see anyone trying to be a hero. It just takes away from the sport to sit there on your phone until one spots your decoy from 500 and runs up there to flog it.

This is Aldeer! The place people come to vent their frustrations and completely change their stance a few minutes later...

When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself

You can quite often pattern a field Turkey. They will enter the field from the same spot....or fly from a tree out in the woods to a tree on the edge in the same location. Bushwhacking....Maybe....BUT....You have to be a Stealthy S.O.B. to pull it off without getting Busted.

Not to say a field bird is always easy, but on one that wont cooperate the field bird is like fish in a barrel vs one in the timber. But being able to see the reactions to calling makes it a lot easier.
I have used decoys on tough field birds in kansas, nebraska, oklahoma, and missouri. No calling just let them get curious. Kind of like call shy ducks.

I never have used one. Woodsmanship....Calling Ability.....and just plain learning to understand the habits of Turkeys is how I was brought up. They NEVER should have been legalized in the first place. Do away with them and that will slow down "Still hunting Deer Style" on green patches by folks that can't kill one any other way. Yes sir!

Jeez a bunch of dems on here wanting to make anything they DONT LIKE illegal. If you dont like them..then dont use them. Thats what freedom gives us. The ability to make our own choices.
Why should you give a flying phuck about what others use or how they hunt? I say let people hunt how they want with both deer and turkeys. If they want to use decoys good for them. If they want to manage deer, good for them. If they want to shoot small bucks well good for them too. They want to just bow hunt? More power to you. Just gun hunt, the same thing.
A lot of yall need to stop worrying about what others do. They dont need to conform to how YOU like to hunt. This is exactly what is wrong with the whole freaking nation these days. A bunch of morons trying to make people do things the way they want as "they" know what is best for all of us.
Yall got way too much time on your hands. If you think its a good idea to limit how a dam kid can hunt or if he can use decoys because you dont like them then youre pretty dam selfish and short sighted.
By the way..the dems dont like GUNS and want us all to not use them. Some of you guys would fit right in with your attitudes, but how would you like that same logic applied to your firearms.
Yall need to step back and think. Youre either for Govt regulations and more rules or not. Most republicans say they arent but lord help ya if your kid wants to shoot a field gobbler.
Talk about hypocrites..SMDH!

They are giving the kids a weekend to hunt before the adults did you thank em for that? I dont think there should be a youth weekend or decoys but thats just me.
