Every time I visit Hawaii I find my trigger finger twitching from all the spotted and zebra doves everywhere. It makes Yuma look like a dove desert. ;)
Who uses one and what style/brand/model do you like?
After several mornings/days of numb legs/butt, I’m ready to try one out.
Alpz and Browning have some that look comfy.
I ordered one from camofire. We’ll see how it goes. I like the concept of using animal psychology to produce a decoy that doesn’t simply mimic reality but produces a specific behavioral response. I hope that pans out. :D
The theory is that the turkeys will recognize the appearance of a jake but one that is extremely whimpy so even skittish jakes will think they can take him on and become more aggressive.
Plenty of people online say it works but I trust our local experts more than randos on Amazon.
I’m interested in what experience you’ve had using the funky chicken decoy.
I noticed the jakes I was going after yesterday seemed kind of leery of the full size jake decoy in my spread yesterday and wondered if a less threatening male decoy would be a good strategy.
I have no idea as to that last part.
I get that parts of California have good hunting depending what you’re after. I just have the impression that most of the good hunting states have the same opportunities or better.

I like a little color with the exception of yellowing from residual fat.
I’m not a fan of the bleached porcelain look. But a gentle whitening looks good to me.
