Great Gobbler Gear
As the 2019 SHOT Show in Las Vegas comes to a close, we’ll wrap it up with these five new products — but we’ve only scratched the surface of the turkey-centric gear that will hit the store shelves this year. Be sure to check back here each week for more new product highlights.
Flextone Funky Chicken
Flextone Funky Chicken
Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. Flextone’s Funky Chicken proves this with an abnormal shape and smaller size that triggers aggressive gobbler behavior during the spring mating season. The Funky Chicken doesn’t have size on his side; he’s the skinny, wimpy kid that every turkey knows he can beat up. This easy target is non-intimidating to both passive and dominant gobblers.

TurkeyFan Jake Fan
TurkeyFan Jake Fan
The TurkeyFan Jake Fan is tailor made for the on the move proactive “fanning method” style of turkey hunting. It is designed to trigger the aggressive territorial response of a dominant tom, greatly increasing the odds of a successful harvest by mimicking the movements of a jake going in and out of strut, bringing them running for up close in your face action. Take your next hunt from a game of yards to a game of inches. Info: www.KillerGear.com
