RE: Do you use a Tom/Jake decoy with your hen?
I used a B-mobile decoy with a couple hen decoys last season. I had aTom hang up 10 yds out of shooting rangelast season withhim, and thedecoy seemed to be the reason this time. He was a nice bird but probably younger. I shot a tom 2 days later in the same area with no decoys.I do like using decoys when possible just not sure abouttom and jakes.I willprobably use thetom decoy the 1st couple of days of the season to see what happens.I actually thought aboutputting a string on B-mobile and jerking him to the ground if a bird hangs up.It will either send him the other direction orhe'll come andkick theheck out of the decoy. Shot a turkey two seasons ago over one that was already on the ground. It may be stupid idea, but it would be a great story if worked.
