i have never had a bird scare from my decoy, nore have i ever had a tom or jake see my decoy (assuming you mean just a hen or two hen decoys) and spoke...something isn't right...wind, movement...etc...i hunt only public land and hunt the same areas and have never had a bird spook because of a decoy...i have had birds come in with a hen and the hen walk away from my decoy and the tom and or jakes follow her....but never just a spook....what kinda decoys do you use?
