For Christmas, Brady's parents gave me this turkey decoy. You are supposed to put it in the ground and it is supposed to draw in the turkey's. Well a few days ago, we all saw the most turkey's we have ever seen all at once. I counted at least 29! Turkey's pass through our front yard everyday. This morning I went to put out the trash cans and I apparently spooked 4 because they went flying across the street and a driver had to put on his brakes for them. It was kinda funny! So when I saw them come back through the yard this afternoon, I went and grabbed my turkey decoy and placed it out front. It worked! One got interested in it and started making a calling noise. Slowly more and more arrived. Then 4 large ones banded together and walked close enough to check it out. I wish they would have pecked it or something. They were still a little nervous. I posted a video of it on the Tucker blog. Funny how a decoy really does work. Too bad I can't actually harvest those dang turkey's now. They have grown so much over the past few months. Some would make a fine meal!
