Advice needed
OK guys, I need a little advice. I haven't had much of a chance to scout this fall due to work and family. I had a pretty good idea where I would start for our opener this Saturday, but now they are predicting rain. The area I hunt is all wooded except for a large open field on top of the mountain. I plan to hunt the field if it is raining. Birds frequent this field (I saw 13 gobblers there pre spring season this year and my daughter killed her first gobbler there this past spring. She will be accompanying me on Saturday so I was going to set up a blind (a first for me) and try to keep her dry so she still has a good time. Hereare myquestions - does a decoy help in an open field situation like this in the fall? Will a hen decoy spook a gobbler this time of year? Will a flock work to a lone hen? Any help is appreciated.
