Default newbie ? about patterns and decoys

This is my first year turkey hunting, i got some tips from friends that do it and learned quite a bit here, and just have a few questions left before i'm ready to dive into it. First off, i patterned the shotgun i'll use with #5 shot, got 64 bbs in a paper plate at 35 yards, hows that for a pattern? about 20 of them were inside the crude drawing of a turkey head/neck i drew on the plate. My 2nd question regards decoys. I'll be hunting the late spring season in WI, May 16-20th, and i was wondering what kind of decoys if any i should use. Is it anything like the post rut for deer where the toms will be out searching for any hen that hasnt yet been breed? Any help is greatly appreciated, i know its still a few weeks away, but im really gettin excited!
