I’VE SWORN BY TURKEY DECOYS FOR NUMEROUS YEARS, STARTING WITH THE COLLAPSIBLE ONES THAT FOLDED UP AND GO INTO THE BACK OF MY TURKEY VEST.

SINCE THAT TIME THESE DECOYS HAVE COME A LONG WAYS, ONE OF THE FIRST HARD-BODY DECOYS THAT I USED WAS THE DAKOTA DECOYS OUT OF VERMILION S.D AND THEY WERE EXCELLENT DECOYS.

SINCE THEY’RE SOLD OUT, I NEED TO LOOK FOR OTHERS.

UNFORTUNATELY, THEY Along WITH ALL MY TURKEY HUNTING GEAR  WAS LEFT BEHIND WHEN I SEPARATED FROM MY WIFE, SO NOW, I NEED TO COME UP WITH SOME OTHERS.

I STOPPED BY RUNNING’S IN WATERTOWN, S.D. TODAY AND CHECKED OUT THEIR SELECTION, THERE WAS A YOUNG FELLOW LOOKING OVER THE DISPLAY, WE TALKED A BIT AND THEN I GAVE HIM ONE OF MY GARYHOWEYSOUTDOORS.COM  BUSINESS CARDS. SO HE COULD CHECK OUT THE SIGHT!

THEY HAD AN EXCELLENT SELECTION OF DECOYS, I ENDED UP CHOOSING A COUPLE OF GOOD LOOKING DECOYS, ONE A HEN IN THE LOW BREEDING POSITION AND A SMALL JAKE DECOY, BOTH  LOOKED Really GOOD TO ME AND I CAN WAIT TO TRY THEM IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS WHEN THE SOUTH DAKOTA SPRING TURKEY SEASON OPENS UP!

IF MY OTHER HUNTING GEAR DOESN’T SHOW UP FROM A  MANUFACTURER, I’M GOING TO HAVE TO BE OUTFITTED WITH A WHOLE TURKEY ENSEMBLE!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU TURKEY HUNTERS THIS SPRING!
