always face them away from you.
I'm not exactly an expert but I disagree... If I use a jake decoy I face it towards me. If the Tom wants to pick a fight, he will face the jake and be looking away from me. That gives me the opportunity to move. If I'm using a lonehen I do want it facing away from me, but you have to be careful... If the turkey comes in facing the hen it might hang up out of range waiting for the hen to come to him. sometimes no decoy is best. There is no exact science to it but after a while you'll figure out what works best for you.
