The afternoon before Opening Turkey Season '07, my husband and I went into a local gun shop to pick up a few last minute items before going hunting the following morning. They had the Pretty Boy & Pretty Girl decoys set out. We had looked at these before and considered purchasing them, but had gone back to using a borrowed, beat-up decoy with limited success. We looked at the decoys on display and discussed going ahead and purchasing them. The store owner explained it was the last set he had in stock and would even discount the price some to get them sold. We went ahead and purchased them, wondering how successful they would really be. We went home and watched the enclosed video, wishing a hunt would really go the way it was depicted in the video. The next morning we set up our blind and set out the Pretty Boy and the Pretty Girl before sunup. It was extremely windy and we were worried we wouldn't see a turkey in that kind of wind. I used the slate call and called once with no answer. I waited about 15 minutes and called again. An answering gobble! I called one more time. Again an answering gobble, and this time he was quite close. I picked up my shotgun and got ready. Suddenly, we heard a quick-stepped "crunch, crunch, crunch" in the leaves and could see the shadow of the gobbler running right past our blind (I mean within 1-2 feet!) toward Pretty Boy and Pretty Girl. He went straight to the decoys on a dead run. Once he arrived at the decoys, he started strutting for Pretty Girl while keeping an eye on Pretty Boy. We watched him for a minute or two, then I fired. He had 1 1/2" spurs and a 9 1/4" beard. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. The decoys were worth more than what we paid for them, just to experience the reaction of the real tom to them! The hunt went exactly as the hunts filmed in the video that came with the decoys!!
