i never used decoys....my dad thinks we dont need em...but wouldnt it make sense to put the coys behind you and off to the opposite side of where the birds comin? coz if they see a hen they will come closer but sometimes hang up...rite outa range...if there behind you the bird will come closer and if he hangs up hes in range most of the time....just my 2 cents...but thats jsut my thinking
