[QUOTE="imhntn, post: 1094589, member: 3755"] That is the decoy ccshooter. Well, I went out this morning before work early. It was still and dark and they were really gobbling on the roost. I went back to the same spot the big bird had come in on Saturday night when the cows spooked him off. Here is a pic of the blind set up. The decoy was on the other side of those small cedars behind the blind. The big tom on Saturday night came up to the fence you can see next to the blind but about 50 yrds further down the fence line. [attach=full]75267[/attach] I could hear at least 3 toms gobbling close and a couple off in the distance and they flew down pretty early but sounded like they were going away from me. I gave a few soft yelps and purrs and just shut up. After about 5 minutes, I heard a putt and looked down toward the cedars you can see to the left of the blind and a hen came running out of them about 100 yrds away making a b-line for the decoy. It was a good thing I had the decoy staked down with some huge barn nails because that hen started giving it heck. She was puffing up and purring and started flogging it and pecking it on the head but my girl held her ground.
