Going to NE Wyoming and was wondering how these birds react to a strutter decoy, birds we saw last year where small groups with a dominant tom or two with them?
I wouldn't be anywhere near one. It's still legal to use high powered rifles during spring turkey season in Wyoming, and I know plenty that do. Sitting anywhere close to a full strut decoy while guys lob 1000 yard shots to test out their new gun, doesn't seem fun to me!
Based on the number of people I saw hunting in Wyoming last week, in places I've never seen other hunters before, I wouldn't dream of taking a strutter decoy out there. The pressure is continuing to grow and some unfortunately have no sense of courtesy so I'd assume the same for safety.
