MOBO Hen decoy

[Andy S.]

It is an absolute shame people who claim to be "hunters" have to stoop to this level to kill a turkey. You might as well pour out a bag of corn and shoot a rifle. :bash:

You get one vote, are you for this or against this garbage? Think about the "future" of turkey hunting, many years down the road, before you answer.

As much problem as I have hunting, I refuse to hunt with a motorized decoy

It takes skills to drive that thing. It's just a good thing that he had the battery charged up.

I wonder what the range might be? You could drive it right up to a gobbler, and then lead him back.

Something is going to have to happen to outlaw this absolute nonsense.

Totally against this non-sense. It's a shame that people (not hunters) pay this guy $300/day to kill (not hunt) in this manner.
Something has to be done about this crap.

It would would warm my soul to hack into the controller of some miserable excuse for a turkey hunter using one of those and just start doing doughnuts in the field with it. Or, just rig one up with a General Lee car, complete with Dixie horn and just start ramming into it like that robot wars show.

Good to see a product for the safety minded reaper to keep the decoy away from your face. Price seems a little high for a $50 RC car plus a $10 decoy tho. OFC, I think I recall the umbrella fan was close to $100. That's a mighty expensive umbrella. Not sure if these 'decoys' will be legal with the new laws against remote controlled devices as hunting aids, however.

there is basically nothing that surprises me anymore when it comes to new turkey killing tools. The depths a certain segment of this sport stoop to just to punch a tag is beyond disturbing. The sooner all turkey decoys are outlawed the better off the entire sport will be and the population. I stand firmly behind that decoys are a chicken sh*t tool and so many "turkey hunters" couldn't hunt one if they were forced into carrying a shotgun and call to the woods with nothing else.

Spoon, I get your limitations and have no issues with someone like you using them to experience the joys of this sport. For all the rest learn to hunt and not just kill.

Wow, I just don't get how that is fun. I guess for some but not for me.

 

[Mike Belt]

I guess they'll try anything.

Curious... How do you guys feel about deer decoys?

 

[TheLBLman]

I have a little different take:

I think most deer & turkey decoys (including this MOBO one)
are actually more an impractical "gimmick" more than they're an asset to a hunter.
Sure, there are exceptions, but generally speaking.

IMO, simply messing with turkey decoys probably saves about as many turkeys as those decoys cause to be killed.

But, yes, I do find it disturbing there is so much focus today on the killing and less on the hunting.
Tech skills are being mistaken for hunting skills, the basics of which are highly lacking among many.

On deer decoys, I agree. At least in tis part of the world. On turkey decoys in general, particularly strutter decoy, i think they are way too effective to be a gimmick. But the RC car hen decoy, you may be right. It's an embarrassment. But a man who is dumb enough to carry around an RC car with a hen decoy stuck to it is probably less likely to kill a turkey than someone who just sits in a tent with regular decoys. And he is much more easily identified as a died-in-the-wool googan, so at least everyone knows what they're dealing with.

I'm not a fan of carrying in decoys and deer hunt them. I will some early in the season before the green up. Most of the time I guess where I think he is gobbling from sit down and hope I'm correct, if not I just enjoy my time outdoors

Bet it's a pain to carry around. I'll pass.

they would be hard to carry, but heck if all you have to do is roll one out your garage.... oke: oke: :rotf: :rotf:

They'll put wings on em next and some "hen-n-heat" lure so you can fly past gobblers on the roost and make them fly down to you.

I would absolutely love the opportunity to have one of these things come out in front of me here in the NF. :super:
