"I couldn't get him to come out of strut. I yelped, whistled, yelled and even waved my arm. I ended up shooting him while he strutting."

Why I don't use decoys.  It takes the wild out of the bird.

That is your choice...to each their own. I on the other hand choose to use decoys. I'm sure in your Purest/ Elitist eyes that makes me a lesser hunter. Without a decoy, I would not have been able to watch that Jake do his thing for about 30 minutes and I wouldn't have been able to watch that Tom strut, spit, drum for about 10 minutes before I shot him. 2 GREAT shows that probably wouldn't have been seen.

Good luck this season.

I am through judging,  but I am judgmental.  Good luck to you.

Why? Why do you care about how others hunt? As long as they are using lawful techniques, we should all support their efforts.

I've heard a lot of stupid comments in my life and that is one of the stupidest. If you don't want to congratulate someone keep your thought to yourself instead of trying to sound superior.

Congrats on your turkey and on a great hunt. I also filled my first season Iowa tag on Monday as well . A great day indeed!

Thanks for the comment and congrats on your bird as well. Not sure where you were hunting, but the wind was pretty nasty most of the day around here....20-30mph with higher gusts.
