Full Strut decoys, I think i may try one this year. I have always used a jake and a hen or just a hen. My only concern is a full strutter may run off younder toms. Anyone have experience with them good or bad?
im thinking of using one this year also, never had before and have had plenty of success but i think it may be fun to see how they react. A buddy of mine loves his so we will see...
Have hunted with a pretty boy since they came out years ago...If you hunt birds that have had not much experience with those decoys, then they are phenominal. Every year they seem to be a little more "educated" on the full strut decoys each year more and more, but this all depnds on hunting pressure and how they are hunted. That being said, I guarantee over the last 5 years I have had pretty boy knocked off the stake and jumped on at least a 12-15 times. Would definately use a natural fan vs the carboard one they give you with it...but not in the public woods! I usually leave it in the golf cart during the "run and gun" hours of the early mornings(pretty boy is big and bulky and a lot to carry long distances), but use it all the time during late morning and afternoon set-ups. Long story short, I still do not leave home without it. Hope this helps and g'luck!
