Best Turkey Decoy on the Market – Hands Down!!!

Cherokee Sports makes the very best turkey decoys on the market. Every aspect of the decoy is a no brainer when selecting a decoy to carry into the woods.
I have the ultimate 4 pack flock of turkeys from yall.I am just wondering on open day shuild i put all of them out like the pic- has? and what kind of call should i use.Like the gobble,clucketc! PLZ LET ME KNOW SOMEBODY !!!!!! I NEED TO KNOW LIKE BY 2DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!PLZ!!PLZ!!!PLZ
Should I use your suggested XXX setup at the beginning of the opening day season which here in NY is on May 1st or should i wait untill the middle of the month to use this setup ?
If they seem to be keeping other birds out of the area I bet it would be a good thing. Main thing is don’t do alot of calling. Once you know the birds are coming your way just let em’ come. That way if they seem a bit shy of Billy then you haven’t educated em’ to the calling. Do your next set up on em’ as close as you can with again very lil’ calling and possibly only one hen decoy. That oughta do it! Let me know how it goes.
alright thanks, so i have been hunting these two two year old birds that are always together do you think it is safe to use billy with them?
If there’s a group of 2 year olds then yes you can use Billy cause alot of times they will try to run off any new gobblers. They feel alot safer about confrontation as a group. If they are split up pretty good just use the delinquent jake or hen decoys. Turkeys are a crazy fickle creature. What screws up your hunt one day may prove to be the saving grace another day!!! I try to play the averages like that. I have better luck with decoys, always have.
soif im hunting in an area where i know there are alot of two year old birds i shouldnt billy?
Yeah, sometimes jakes and subordinate toms will shy away from Billy. Most of the time I won’t set Billy out unless I know it’s a bird that has been strutting in a certain area for a period of time or I’m sure it’s a dominant bird. When they see Billy it drives em’ crazy seeing another guy in his bedroom especially if you’ve got a hen decoy out as well. If I’m not sure about the bird I’ll usually just put out 3 or 4 hens and sometimes a delinquent jake. It’s a safer move for subordinate toms.
have you found it to be true that younger gobblers or jakes shy away from the billy bad act?
Just place the decoys within 20 yards of your hunting position and on the opposite side you think the gobbler will be coming from. This way that old tom has to walk past your position to get to the decoys. If he hangs up at that infamous 50 yard mark he’ll still only be 30 yards away. That is plenty close enough to stomp any turkey with any shotgun.
Impressive, i’m buying a gobbler and hen before season starts this April. How far away do i need to get a real turkey so i don’t have to worry about hitting the decoy? being that its inflatable
thanks for sharing this vid, actually I coundn’t tell which was real or fake, very decieving. good luck with your hunts!
Dude, these decoys are the freakin’ bomb!!! I usually don’t get too much into the products that I film, but these damn things impressed the hell outta me. Especially when the gobblers got right in on top of em. It was like you couldn’t scare em’ away because the decoys weren’t runnin’ off.
