[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5603789, member: 131"] And we know how A LOT of boss gobblers have been killed early season while they are still courting/breeding. Most of the time, they are not leaving their harem of hens to come to a call. You can occasionally call the whole flock to you, but then you have to fool numerous sets of eyes and ears and execute the shot, without any collateral damage to the flock. Put a strutter decoy up, and instantly you have the upper hand on an old boss gobbler that is courting hens. When possible, we need to think long term and allow the boss gobbler to breed as many hens as possible to sustain the local flock over time. We all want turkeys to hunt 20 years from now, thus we need to do the little things we can to assist with that outcome, when possible. [/QUOTE]
