    Default So who's getting this new decoy?

    I see were Dave Smith came out with a turkey decoy this year. Im thinking about getting one but might be to much to carry with a bow and a Double Bull on my back but they do look sweet.

    That looks darn near as good as a Taxied Hen and you won't cry if that one gets rained on!!!

    Too bad he doesn't have a jake to go with it.

    I saw one of his decoys at Nationals yesterday, definately a great decoy. . . .but in my opinion nothing beats real feathers.

    wow those look sweet but 100 plus dollars for a decoy i think not. Can fool my turkeys around here for a lot less.

    Looks good but no way I'd spend $133 (including shipping) on a decoy since I don't hardly ever use decoys at all.

    JMHO but the idea of getting Turkey Skinz to put on your old decoy at $40 looks and sounds like a better idea to me. That would remove the glare problem most decoys have and add real feathers at the same time at ~30% of the cost of that decoy.

    I agree.. looks great. But ill stick with my inflatable Sceery's i bought out of the bargain bin at Gander 3 years ago Turkeys cant tell the difference and as long as i dont shoot em ill be ok!!! My theory....once a tom gets close enough to realize it aint a real hen.......all his troubles will soon be over anyways!

    I have to agree. Last season I busted a 3-4 year old bird with a 10"+ beard and 1.25" spurs as he struted around a foam decoy. I can't justify spending $100+ on a decoy when the $15 foam ones do just fine.

    Does look great, but way out of my price range for a decoy.
