"Guesswho" Used A Decoy

Post by guesswho »

Me of all people broke down and used a decoy the other day. I was talked into using one by one of my hunting buddy's because he was wanting one on film. Anyone who has been around any of these forums know my views on decoys and blinds. I don't like them, can't watch videos where a turkey gets killed over a decoy or out of a blind even with a bow. But I couldn't care less if other people choose to hunt over them. So if your like me and can't stand to watch a turkey hunting video that shows a turkey getting killed because he was fooled visually by decoy, here's a short video of me as the trigger man on a local Georgia WMA hunting over a decoy not in a blind that you might can watch.

I'm REALLY disappointed that this wasnt a badonka deke promotional video.

I wanted to make it as fair as possible and still use a decoy so we opted for an inferior decoy.

Catch and release turkey. The barbs on the decoy were bent down for easy release. Very sporting... I could almost hear Zsa Zsa in the background: "Choos them."

So what'd your buddy, the cameraman, have to say? :lol:

What was the loud knock knock sounds you hear at the beginning of the video?

Probably him picking up the tripod. He's not much of a cameraman.

I got to the part where the camera started to do fast blurred panning of the woods then turned it off . Now if you had 4 different angles with a camera also mounted on the motorized decoy maybe I'll watch it ! :LMAO:

I didn't go back and kill him, but knowing my cameraman that's probably a pretty safe bet.

I've been known to let a few sure kills, walk. For reasons I still don't fully understand yet. Mood I guess. :lol: :lol: :lol:
But not very many.
Let one live another day this morn. Long story. Still not sure why. I'm blaming it on the thunderstorm baring down on me.
Got drowned anyway. :lol:
Always seems that it only took 5 mins to get to the bird, and 45 mins to get back to the truck!! :toothy7:
