Front Range Colorado Turkey

[Gehrke145]

Left my home in Bayfield to head up and hunt some smart front range birds.  Called this Tom into 5 yards and stuck his wings together with a big old simmons head on a Easton ION 500.  Bow was my 50lbs at 28 SKY ILF rig (60 inches NTN).
 
 

Congrats on the Thunder Chicken!

Congrats on your bird!

I am curious to what brand your decoys are and do they collapse for transporting.

The jake is the Best Turkey Decoy (from Brooks from double bull)  this or the DSD seem to work the same.  The hen doesn't seem to matter as much, every bird I've had in is all over the Jake, so you can get away with a cheaper hen (not a foam one) They don't claps down at all and totally suck to carry!  That being said, I've have way more birds in close range  (under 10 yards) since I started using them.  

Whichever one you pick get a non strutting that is small in the body.  Also with a red head and the snood up, it seems to really help getting them point blank.  If you get on the BTD website they do a great job explaining everything and are spot on!
