I would think that I built the fence in the wrong place. Around Here people with private property tell me that spring turkey is a 2 hour season with a shotgun(2 birds). The same folks have never yet connected with a bow. Mild winter and lots of fences that keep the coyotes away and the rabbit population needs some serious attention. The corgi has been down with tularemia again.

Don't know what decoys you have been using but where I hunt I figured out never to use a jake decoy. In years past I used an older full strut and had fairly good luck. It was hit and miss so I thought I would get a a jake decoy. Last year I began using a DSD Jake and it looked really good. Every time a tom came out and saw it they would take off. Then towards the last of season I witnessed several jakes run a big Tom out of the field. It got me thinking and that is why I got a full strut decoy again. This one has brought in two tom's in three hunts like they were on a string. I am wondering now if the jakes have been ganging up on the big birds???
