Decoy Placement

RE: Decoy Placement
I agree with Adrian. I didn't use a decoy this year. Best year ever.
IMHO, if the bird spots the decoy there's a 50-50 chence he'll strut and wait on the hen to come to him. If there is no decoy he will move around looking for the hen. Hens don't stay in the same place. I think the gobbler realizes this and goes looking for the hen.
As far as being eyeball-to-eyeball, I like it. Yes, it's a further test of your skills.

RE: Decoy Placement
I agree with dawgwatch. I too am from NW Missouri. I use turkey decoys and have had them come in with one hen and with a jake and two hens. I use decoys every time I hunt because of the rolling hills . I spot and stalk alot of turkeys and find that it is great fun to spot the flock and then put out the decoys in a ideal spot and call them in.
