Default This morning I noticed my turkey decoy was knocked over

And this is the culprit.

That looks like a nice sized bear. You may have come up with a new twist on spring bear hunting, Ken. Shoot them over turkey decoys.

It works for deer too. I’ve had deer come in several times while calling turkeys.

I was setup along the edge of a harvested bean field with two hen decoys in place. One in a clearing in the woods and the other 10 yards in the field. As I was turned facing into the woods I hear a commotion behind me in the field. Expecting the gobbler has snuck past me into the field I slowly turned my head to witness a Turkey Vulture attacking the decoy. I guess a turkey is a turkey.

I would argue that they probably taste a bit different though .

I would hazard a guess that during the great depression anything and everything was eaten at some point .
