Well today while hunting over one of my hundred dollar Avian X turkey decoys something in the air caught my eye. Thank god my reflexes are still quite good as a red tailed hawk was in a full dive with the intent of making a meal of my decoy, I had to jump up and yell, he turned of about 10 feet from the decoy. Cool to see, but almost needed a tube of seam seal:)
I have had that happen as well, mind you not to a hundared dollar decoy. When I was out Coyote hunting this January had a hawk come diving at my mojo.... all I could think was this is cool, but please leave the decoy alone!!
T.O.
Funny you say this, I had the exact same thing happen to me on opening day with the exact same decoy. The only thing was I was watching a jake come into the field while a hawk actually hit my decoy and realized it couldn't pick it up!! The jake sat there for about 5 minutes than ran off. No damage to the decoy thankfully. Kinda funny to see too.
My buddy was at hullett marsh this past weekend, and some doofus's planned a dog trial of some sort and he had repeated dogs chase off turkeys and than one dog grabbed his brand new jake decoy and tore it to shreds. It was a 90$ brand new decoy and they wouldnt pay for it.
Ive had coyotes come pretty close to decoys before but we scared them away before anything happened.
I get the Turkey Vultures circling my LCD Lookout Hen often, but they have not came down for it.
I had two geese swoop down towards our hen decoys on opening day... Was weird
Those geese are ferocious!
