It is exciting to call them into you but to have one charging up to you wanting to fight with the decoy in your hand beats the excitement of calling them in.

I love spring turkey hunting! Unfortunately, I can't start until April 27. No end of frustrating as I drive by my hunting grounds every day to and from work and see tons of birds out in the fields. Congratulations!
A few years ago I called in a pair of toms. I shot one and as he was flopping on the ground the other attacked him, pecking and spurring. Then the one I shot lay still. Then he twitched again and drew another attack. This happened several times before I'd had enough. I had to literally yell at that other bird as I walked toward mine to drive him off. Crazy birds.

I couldn't help but think that for a moment that tom turkey thought he had a first round knockout! And just about the time it burned through his lovestruck brain what was going on a load of #2's did too.
