Default Need some guidance

I hunted this morning until 8 because I had to go to work.... My situation is I am in a ground blind amongst an island of trees in an alfalfa field. Our farm is edges and fields not any woods.I am facing a crp field with a fenceline about 60 yards in front of me. At 6:30 I had 2 toms and 2 jakes come right up to the fenceline in front of me. (I had a hen and Jake decoy out) the toms were clucking and chasing the jakes away from them...actually pretty comical to watch but it seemed that they were totally disinterested in my decoys. I didn't call at all until they walked the fence line away. They looked but then continued walking. They weren't spooked at all. And then of course when I had to leave I unzipped my blind climbed out and took a step and there were two big toms behind me in the alfalfa field. They were about 80 yards away. They didn't see me so I crouched and gave a few soft yelps...one was strutting and they just slowly walked away to my lefttoward a ridgeline and cornfield. I am sure they saw the decoys but were not interested.
What do you think. Should I just put a hen out. Should I move to the ridgeline instead of in the middle of the field. The birds are all around me but not walking to me.
