I was out the is morning with my quarter strut jake and 2 hen decoy set-up. Shortly after sunrise I see 2 toms making there way towards me. After about 30 mins of them walking and gobbling they call in another hen. She meets up with the 2 toms sees my jake decoy runs over to it clucking and purring the whole way. When she gets close she circles the jake and lays down in front of it. The two toms see this and rather than fight the upstart they turn around and walk away. I've never seen 2 full size birds bow to a small jake decoy before.
I never have luck with decoys
wow yeah thats wild... what jake decoy was it?
A mojo
Definitely haven't ever seen or heard of that one before. Odd. ???
I'm still trying to wrap my head around what happened. Maybe they were too tired to fight?
Makes no sense. I can totally see a solo gobbler backing down, but two gobblers backing down to a jake? That isn't normal.
Fairy gobblers!!!!HAHA

:agreed:
must of been a better looking hen in the area :funnyturkey:
Tried a single hen set-up this afternoon, come 4 pm here come the same 2 toms. A little cluck and purr and they look in the direction of the hen and keep right on walking. I'm at a loss on what 2 do.
