Default RE: Question about Decoys

Hmmph [:'(]With a name like Bosgobbler and he slams turkey hunting like that. Shame.

Anyway, I had a question about this

Depends on what your after if you want a tom then just use the hen decoy but if your state allows you to take ether oneand you would settle with a hen then use the jake.
I thought Toms travelled outside of family flocks. Sometimes in the area but not necessarily with hens at all. Why a hen decoy if you want a tom?

I have always thought use as many as possible to create the look of family flock. Birds being called back in after a scatter will see hens and jakes and think it's the flock re-grouping.

No fall hunt here so I am only questioning based on zero experience. I have the question about using decoys at all if you're after mature toms? Seems that that is a different hunt altogether than hunting a hen or jake or jennie in the fall.
