"Safe? Stupid? Smart? Using turkey fans and decoys to move on
gobblers and henned-up flocks is really nothing new, unless you count the
marketing spin. I’ve done it. You’ve done it. Heck, historical evidence shows
the Native Americans originally had their own forms of tactical hunting
deception.
Now it seems everyone is trying it. In this age of hyper-realistic decoys, repositioning on hung-up birds is a trending tactic – especially in private land locations. Doing it on heavily hunted public land is without question often a fool’s choice.
Why the concern? Safety. Risk and reward occurs by degrees in turkey hunting." –Steve Hickoff
