We recently received this testimonial letter from a customer in Land O' Lakes, Florida. This is the kind of success we see all the time with the Tomtamer.
"My name is Ron Gold, and I live in Land O' Lakes, Florida. I'm 56 years old and bagged my first Osceola Turkey in my early twenties. I'm an avid hunter, however, I hunt turkeys, on the average, only once or twice per season. I've only hunted turkeys two times in the past seven years and yesterday morning was one of those times. The day before, I set up my Tomtamer on a Flambeau hen decoy that I purchased almost thirty years ago. The set up was easy. It worked like a champ. Later that afternoon, I went out scouting and spotted two long-beards just before dark. After they flew up to roost, I went to my blind location and called for a few minutes to establish the location I would be hunting in the morning. One of the gobblers answered several times, so I knew he had me marked.
I got up early the next morning to give me time to set up. I chose to use two 30 ft. parachords to keep the decoy a little further away. I set up the decoy on the edge of a field with a hardwood and cypress swamp to my back. I began calling about 45 minutes before daybreak. The toms immediately began to gobble. Over the next hour and fifteen minutes, I lost count of the number of gobbles. Easily over fifty. And then they shut up. About five minutes passed as I fully expected to see the two gobblers come flying down out in to the field in front of me. No cigar! I happen to look to the left of my blind and off in the swamp about 30 yards was one of the long beards standing there looking at the decoy and going into strut. Then he turned his head and saw me. I was busted! I froze and immediately pulled one of the chords to turn the decoy 180 degrees.
Let me explain something. I'm not a highly experienced turkey hunter. I'm a novice and I've been busted by long beards over the years more times than I can possibly remember and one thing, without fail, always happens. He bolts. Gone. Down the road. And being that I don't hunt turkeys very often, he's never to be seen by me again. I was blown away guys. That tom turned to run and when the decoy moved, he stopped in his tracks. He then began to walk away and I made the decoy squat down. He stopped. Turned. Then he began to walk back out toward the decoy. He stopped again, turned, and started walking back in to the swamp again. I let the decoy raise up, turned it back 180 degrees, and pulled it down again. The tom immediately stopped and turned, then slowly began to walk back out toward the decoy. He stopped again, turned and walked back in to the swamp and out of sight. I continued to work the decoy. A minute or two passed and he let out a massive gobble. I cackled and he gobbled again. I cackled again and then silence. I again began working the decoy. Another minuted passed. I looked out across the field and about 50 yards past the decoy I saw both long beards step out. One was in full strut and the other was just walking around. I turned the decoy and pulled it down and the tom in strut let out a gobble. I cackled and he gobbled again. I continued to work the decoy and call. This went on for about 4 to 5 minutes and then the unthinkable happened. Someone stepped out on the other side of the field and game over! That was the end to my one hunt for this season. However! Working the Tomtamer was worth the price of admission. I was blown away. IT WAS AWESOME!"
Thanks for the great letter, Ron, and we're glad you had such a great experience with our product! The Tomtamer strikes again!
