I watched a Tom chase a hen away from "his" spot in the five acre food plot tonight. Saw three Toms and two hens. Was just wondering if a jake deke would help or hinder in the fall. Wouldnt do any calling, just thought maybe his presence would be enough to bring them into bow range.

I just see fall turkeys as a "target of opportunity" while bowhunting. I have called in fall birds using a kee kee run call.. I just do the whistle with my mouth. Easy to do.. |

Im not sure how much I will be specifically targeting turkeys this fall but I thought that if I decided to hunt the pond plot (pond surrounded by five acre food plot) I might go ahead and throw a deke out just incase.

I might take a hen deke and put it out in the field and hunt turkeys from my new shooting house mid-day, between deer hunting times. I can be comfortable enough in there to sit all day.

Those shoot houses you built are pretty slick! I may just go with the hen and not the jake then. Cram her into the book bag with everything else! Could use a bigger one that's for sure!
