dont know for sure how long a gobbler will hangout with a hen, i'm sure it's until he breeds her, but after that i'm not sure, may depend on the # of hens that are in that area as well....he could stay there until he breeds them all......we have poults sprouting up everywhere, so i know it's basically done down here...i've seen 2 strutters since season ended here...i would leave the decoys at home and i would go after that gobbler.....
