    You need to stop before I push you down:tooth:. Well, we saw more this am but got busted 2 more times, son#1's season is over, son #2 gets a crack at em in a week or so, maybe the snow will be melted by then, we got another 7-8" since weds.

    Question though, we put out some decoys and due to the deep snow they started to rotate as the wind picked up after sunrise, they were not spinning, but they were moving back and forth as the wind gusted, is this bad ju-ju to a turkey or is a little wind induced motion in a 3D decoy a good thing?

    I personally like my setup to be stationary. The snow sure would make it tough if you don't run a double stake. May try to pack a old arrow or something. Bird seem jumpy when decoys move and they are in tight for me but I'm sure many have had success with the movement. Keep after them!

    YOU are getting birds, YOU want them to stay stable, then stable it is.

    Congrats to the lady, beautiful bird there.

    But you guys are SUCKING Overtime! I'm not much on deer hunting with bows, but the one thing I want to kill with a Bow is a Turkey, well that and a goose.
    Daddy, what's an enabler?
    Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
