If you’re looking for the best turkey decoy for reaping or fanning, I may have found it! My friends and I put the MOJO Scoot-N-Shoot decoy to the test on a recent turkey hunting trip to Texas. With only a few hours to hunt before we had to catch a flight home, the three of us set up in a pinch point that connected two wheat fields and utilized the MOJO Scoot-N-Shoot decoy to lure two long beards into range.

The Axis jacket I reviewed was one of the first items to carry the new camo pattern by KUIU, called VALO – I was very excited to see this one in-person. This pattern is the first by KUIU that incorporates more brown tones, which is perfect for dormant vegetation in the late fall season. The low-contrast design uses tones that actually take on a different hue depending on what environment you’re in.

Moriah Boggess
Right out of the wrapper, the Journey T-shirt from Ridge Merino is very sleek with a smooth, cool feel. The material seems sturdy, yet it’s still a very soft, comfortable shirt.

Houndstooth Mouth Call Pouch Review
Andrew Maxwell
As a turkey hunter, the last thing I want to worry about is having to dig around in a pocket in my turkey vest to find a small plastic box that contains the mouth call that I think I need at that exact moment.

Nockturnal Lighted Nocks Review
Matt Poissant
