This may have been discussed in the past so excuse me if I missed it and I am bringing it up again.
What are your thoughts on how realistic a turkey decoy should appear.I was looking through the INTERNET and saw a decoy that sells for $169.00 + shipping. These birds are photo imprinted on some type of spandex material then applied to what appears to be a rubber body.
I have been using decoys from day one and in my opinion they were only there just to make me feel I was doing things the correct way.
I have never had a bird come running up and start pecking on my decoys.The birds I have killed I believe were coming to the call and not the decoy.
So do you think a very expensive realistic decoy will increase your odds or will any half way decent looking decoy get the job done.
I believe the sporting goods manufacturing industry designs items to sucker us and not the wildlife were chasing.
