Looks great. Wonder what it is going to look like after a jealous Tom pecks the snot out of it.


Wish I had more time to trap....

Only taking it on the 2 private properties I can hunt. No way would I take it on public land

Looks good fortunately the birds here aren't pressured much and my 25 year old cheap foam decoys still work. I get a returned tag for merriam only a 6 hour drive from home. But i love this hunt because of how well birds work and respond.

The wings and tail are from last years bird. I didn't know exactly how I was going to do it so that's all I saved of the bird. This year I'm going to save some of the underneath feathers, the small fuzzy ones and glue those to the painted tail block. Should look a lot better.

Only thing I would maybe change is put the wing tips down toward the ground, that is where they have them when their tail is fanned out strutting.

Wasn't trying to make him look like a dominant bird. I really just wanted the real features. Decoys may look good with overcast but look like hammered dog crap when the sun comes out. I think it will do just fine.
