    Default Pretty Boy Decoys

    How many people here use or have experience with the Pretty Boy decoys?

    I am hearing a lot of good things about them. I'm not normally one to buy into most of the products being shoved into your face on hunting shows but, I've seen one too many gobblers literally come a runnin' into these decoys on some of the shows that use this product and it's really starting to peak my interest.

    i have one i bought last year...it looks so real i sometimes wanna shoot it.....last opening morning it really let me down. i had it set up with a couple of hens in a big bottom field. daybreak came and 3 toms pitched down within easy seeing distance of it...100 yds. max. they looked but didn't bite......off they went. same 3 came back couple hours later no go again........i'm not giving up though..that thing HAS to work!

    Yeah, that strutting gobbler looks about as real as it gets.

    It seems like the hen that is laying down in the "breeding position" is the one they really go after though.

    I have been kicking this around also! Thing that bothers me though, like SRA mentioned. If it looks like the BOSS gobbler, it could scare them away.
