What's the best decoy set up?

Just wondering what's the best decoy set up. 2 hens or a gobbler and 1 hen, or a gobbler and 2 hens, etc.

Well, to answer this .....again......it depends on the birds. There is a time and place for both, but personally, I use 2 hens and NO jake. More often than not, in my experience, the jake scares them off. Now, if you manage to bring in the dominant bird.....it works well is SO MUCH FUN! But, for consistency, just use the hens.

My 2 cents. For what it's worth.

Diddo MO, I would just use the 2 hens but it only takes one.

I like the decoy setup called the love triangle with is two jakes and a hen. Which work really well for me.

I have used 1 hen mostly...no luck with hen and jake set-up.

A lone Calley Morris hen is mighty deadly.

whatever you use try to place the decoys facing away from where you expect old mister long beard to come from
