GREG’S TRIED AND TRUE DECOY STRATEGIES

MAXIMIZE YOUR ODDS OF BAGGING A LONGBEARD WITH THESE DECOY STRATEGIES

Turkey decoys can be a blessing and a curse. All of us who enjoy turkey hunting have watched in amazement as a decoy brings a longbeard in on a string. If you have turkey hunted long enough, you have also watched in amazement as a decoy ruined a hunt. I can’t tell you how many times I have watched a tom come running across a field to my setup only to turn around and run away when he saw a decoy. Below are a few tips to ensure a decoy works well for you this spring and help you put Mr. Tom in the freezer.

  1. Realize that turkeys can be extremely claustrophobic. One mistake many turkey hunters make is placing turkey decoys too close together. When a tom approaches the setup, the hen decoys are bunched together in a small group so the tom can’t easily strut around each hen. Real hens don’t often feed within inches of each other. As a result, the tom feels uneasy and he spooks

2.  Some hunters love using strutting tom decoys. These decoys   work well if you know you are dealing with the dominant bird in the area. If a two year old tom approaches a large strutting decoy, he may feel intimated and turn tail and run. Use a jake decoy for best results.

3.  When people goose or duck hunt, they often put out dozens of decoys. Many decoys often makes the set up seem more realistic. When turkey hunting, try using three or four decoys instead of just one. A few decoys will make a tom more comfortable. I hunted in Florida and my guide put out eight decoys. It was a lot of work, but the tom’s flew down and ran into my setup. Having several decoys out can really help.

4.  When placing decoys, put them less than 20 yards from the tree or blind where you are sitting. Toms will often hang up 10 or 20 yards from a decoy. Many hunters set their decoys at 20 yards or further which makes the shot opportunity a little on the far side, especially if a youngster is the hunter.

5.  If you can’t afford expensive decoys or don’t want to spend a small fortune on a stuffed decoy, check out Turkey Decoy Wraps from A-Way Hunting Products. The wrap is an actual turkey skin complete with real feathers that you quickly wrap around any decoy. Turkey Decoy Wraps come with velcro so attaching them is a piece of cake. The real feathers make any decoy look like a real hen and it eliminates the shine and fake look that often spooks real turkeys. “The natural iridescence of the real feathers found on the Decoy Wrap  does a great job of outsmarting longbeards,” said Greg Abbas of A-Way Hunting.

Quick Inventing Tips

by 9 Comments

A lot of inventors do not act on their inventions because they think that patent services are cost prohibitive. They lack knowledge in this area and are not aware of the different types of patent protection that are out there. There are some shorter term protections that are affordable and allow you protection on the CONCEPT of your idea, even before you have a working model! It’s best not to show your idea to anyone prior to seeing a patent attorney unless they sign a non-disclosure agreement. Its also not a great idea to mortgage your house to fund your project based on the opinions of your idea from your friends and family. They often do not want to hurt your feelings and will give you a glowing report, whether they like your idea or not. A simple market survey will go a long way here BEFORE you bet the farm! Do not show your proto-type on any public forum. Doing so can cause your invention to be non-patentable.

If you decide to produce, package and market your idea yourself, two common issues that cause first timers to fail on the store shelf is lack of effective package design and lack of an effective name that describes what the product does. The color of the packaging should be a bright color that first grabs the consumer’s attention. AVOID camo packaging that does its job too well of blending in so nobody sees it! Design packaging that is quick and to the point with only 3-5 selling points listed on the front, along with supporting pictures of the features.

If you decide that you don’t have the time or the money to produce and market your idea and would rather do a royalty or private label deal, it is best that you know how to properly approach potential partner companies instead of just calling them up and “winging it”. This is where most inventors make the most critical error and either get show down quick, get no response, or even get their idea stolen. You will need to know how to approach these companies, when to call, how to quickly and effectively present your idea, what to expect, what your other forms of income are besides the royalty itself (most companies will not offer info on this when you negotiate). You will need to know what percentages are proper for the industry and what should and shouldn’t be in the agreement so that nobody can LEGALLY steal your idea. Yes it can happen if you don’t know what to look for. Its never your knowledge that will hurt you, its your lack of it if you’ve never done these deals. Your car and garage sale negotiating skills will not work here. This is a different kind of animal! Just like hunting, its best to know the terrain before going in.

NOW AVAILABLE SYNTHETIC AND REAL URINE SCENTS

by 5 Comments

DESIRE and SMART SCRAPE  (made from REAL doe urines) are now available made only with SYNTHETICS.

All deer urines ARE created equal, despite claims made by marketers. Most companies in this industry probably buy the urine from the same supplier. None have responded to the many complaints from deer hunters about deer urine freezing in cold weather and becoming ineffective at critical times. A-Way Hunting Products has solved this problem by creating new proprietary technology that has secret ingredients which not only heightens a buck’s sense of curiosity but, directly resolves the freezing problem.  Our urines are from certified CWD negative farms.

               

 

 

Fred’s 2013 Bow Buck

F Big Buck 13 sm

We were aware of this buck for about 3 weeks. He had been working one of our mock scrapes (She Heat). About a week and a half ago I had an 8 pointer come into the scrape and a few minutes later a bigger 9 pointer came in with ears laid back shuffling side ways in an effort to intimidate the smaller buck, I had no intentions of shooting either buck, and possibly blow my chances with the 12 pointer. The smaller buck yielded but didn’t want to leave, both deer stood in the bushes about 15 yards from the scrape. All of a sudden both bucks came to full attention, I followed their gaze, it was the big buck and he was coming right toward me with little caution. I felt so confidant that I would get a shot that I took a picture of him. The big buck winded the other two bucks and immediately gave chase. There went my buck, it was only 3:15 PM. Greg and his daughter Alyssa came down to the camp a few days later after getting my report for Alyssa’s hunt.. Greg and Alyssa would hunt the scrape stand, I decided to hunt a different stand on the edge of one of our food plots planted with Imperial Whitetail clover because there was a lot of doe activity here. As fate would have it I didn’t have long to wait, I spotted several does feeding toward me and a few minutes later I spotted the big buck following the does at a distance. The does angled perfectly in front of me at 30 yards, the big buck took the same angle. I ranged him at 37 yards then drew my bow,  aimed, and let loose. I clearly saw the arrow slice through him and could see heavy bleeding as he ran. Ironically the buck had staged 80 yards in front of Greg and Alyssa’s stand for at least 25 minutes before he decided to follow the does into the clover field. Greg and Alyssa witnessed the whole scene. Once word got out via radio it turned into a family affair, Greg and Alyssa came over to help track, then my brother Allie and his granddaughter Caitlyn came over and we all went tracking. Had I not seen the hit I would have felt very uncomfortable with the sparse drops of blood that  we were finding. Experience told me this this buck was running all out until he died some 200 yards from the point of  impact, thus the reason for the small blood drops. As I followed the blood drops everyone else was scanning the woods ahead for a body, and that’s exactly what happened when Greg said there he is just before Caitlyn did. Everybody in our family who was there that day played some type of roll during this hunt and recovery of such a beautiful animal, making lasting memories for all of us.

If you are a hunter or angler, at some point in your life you have probably had an idea for a hunting or fishing-related product that you thought would sell well.  Often your idea of a lifetime never becomes more than an idea.  What if your product idea could make you money?  What if your new game call, gun case or fishing lure could do well in the market place?  You will never know unless you put your best foot forward and try to bring your idea or product to market.

Do you have an idea you think could make money in the outdoor market? Look at the testimonial below.  If that inspires you, give Greg Abbas a call and schedule an appointment. Greg is an inventor who specializes in bringing outdoor products to market.

“I’ve been a successful business owner for more than twenty years yet struggled for three years getting my product from concept to store shelf. I was not learning the ropes; I was trying to just find the ropes.

One evening while enjoying the A-Way Hunting Television Show, I saw Greg’s invention consulting commercial and jotted down the telephone number. It sat on my desk for months while I continued to waste time and money.

Before finally deciding to contact Greg, I had the luxury of calling a few friends from the outdoor industry. I was pleased to learn of Greg’s outstanding reputation among his peers. I was amazed to learn his consult fee was among the smallest fees I had spent to date. Greg took his time and explained the entire process in very plain terms from concept through manufacturing to marketing at retail. I will soon have a product launch because of Greg’s help.

Save your money looking for the ropes.  Instead, contact Greg.  He is an industry insider, inventor, entrepreneur, and most importantly a good Christian family man. He will guide your dream of outdoor product invention to reality.”
