Anyone see this before?

I see that Dave sculpted this. I could see where this could work really well for turkeys that want to fight but want to win too, and my regular strutting tom probably scares off as many as it brings in. Anyone ever try one of these before? They also have some great tips on there about turkey body language.

My rubber Tom isn't putting much meat on table either. ;)

Good section on the turkey body language. I feel that is the biggest thing I am picking up this preseason.

And great looking decoy as well

I really wished I had read more on this whole body language thing, my dad and I flubbed up on a tom yesterday with an all white head that was chasing a hen, we rushed the shot and didn't get him, reading this we had no reason to hurry he was probably unaware of anything wrong and probably would have hung around awhile. I am thinking of maybe trying this decoy someday, I can see where it would anger a tom, but a two year old tom (a target for me) would not be intimated so much that he would be afraid of it. My montana strutter looks real, its a photo of a tom so it should, but it also scares away far too many toms that otherwise might have come in. Where I hunt there are always hens in the field so a hen or a pair of hens just does not cut it, but I figure this and a hen or two might be another story.

The long post I made in the body language thread came from that website. They have a bunch of good information there..

And far as the decoy goes, I'll stick with the original...
