Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

I prefer the fleatherflex decoys because they are cheap, light, and flexible. I try to pack as least as possible when turkey hunting so I can move quick...so these decoys are purrrrfect.... They are only about $10-$15 for a decoy, so you can easily buy a couple.

The number depends on the mood/time in season. I will either use two hens, or two hens & jake. There are points when I leave the jake in the truck because I feel it will affect my hunt. In theory...you can't go wrong with a couple hens.

I'll use the BobbleHead Breeding pair and Feeding hen from BuckWing products.
Set them both out about 10 to 15 yards off to my left side of my Double Bull T5 ground blind.
Then do alittle calling with my Quaker Boy Hurricane box calland wait for those love sick toms to come within bow range.

I have one hen decoy I bought from Walmart.....first time this past spring I had it out and a gobbler(jake) worked right in to it. I think I want to get a jake decoy to use with it this spring.

I have 3 decoys---2 hens & 1 jake---Carry-lite brand. Decoys are a double edge sword IMO. I've had longbeards sail off the roost & into my setup-----but just as many have been coming & when they see the decoys they veer off.

I aslo have used a half- strut jake "Bubba"----that scared more birds than it was worth. Sold it down the road. CB
