RE: Dekes or no dekes...that' s the question
This year I believe I am going to opt to not use them. My reason is because many hunters are successful without them and I' m not willing to have a tom get hung up or even spooked because of the decoy. This does happen on occasion. But if I were to use decoys I would try to do get the decoy to sit lower on the stake and a little closer to the ground (many dekes sit too high and don' t look lifelike), and I would attach a string so I can give it motion. I think toms get hung up or spooked when they don' t see the damn thing moving. So my answer is opt not to use them.
