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.

Inventors an Endangered Species

by 2 Comments

Years ago when we formed A-Way Hunting Products our whole product line consisted of just a few turkey calls until we invented a new type of deer call, The BOWGRUNTER.  During these early learning years we discovered very few of the major box store chains were interested in a one product company, but after adding two more of our own inventions, SCENT WEB and TURKEY WRAPS to our product line we were finally noticed by these same chain stores.  We began to see large orders from them for our products. The learning curve here was that it was almost impossible for an inventor with one product, or even a small company, to gain interest from chain stores.

It would get worse, and it didn’t bode well for either. Now flash forward to the turmoil in today’s hunting market where big box store mergers and acquisitions by outside investors of non- hunting type companies have effectively squeezed out small companies, and thus inventors. They choose instead, to “One stop shop” from only the biggest suppliers. It was because of these negative factors that we decided to form a new company, “A-Way Outdoors Invention Consulting and Submissions”. Knowing the intricate workings of the system and many of the brand managers, we knew that we could help inventors, and the key to our success was tied to the brand managers, who would be under pressure from investors to produce new products. Becoming the liaison between these Brand Managers and our inventors everyone would benefit, and that’s exactly what happened after I had written an article for a major national magazine about our new company.  A few sentences in that article caught everyone’s attention, “After 27 years in this industry, who don’t we know and who doesn’t know of us?” This statement ignited a firestorm of interest from both brand managers and potential inventors alike. In this past year alone we have closed deals for our inventors worth several hundred thousand dollars, and have two huge offers on the table today awaiting acceptance from our inventors.

We and our inventors had filled a niche in an industry that was desperately lacking. Click here for more info https://awayhunting.com/invention-consulting/

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.

Greg offers a unique invention consulting service. He specializes in helping people who want to bring an outdoor product to market develop a game plan. He won’t likely buy your idea or make it for you, but he will help point you in the right direction and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

 

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.”
