It can be a Gang War out there!

While scouting once I saw 9 jakes all in Strut as best they could completely encircle a lone hen. man she could go no where!

And I also have absolutely no success using a Jake decoy in my spread when I use decoys. So I will not buy nor use a Jake standing at attention - However it can be the other way around with strutting Decoys both Tom or Jake! I do have some Jake fans as to me it is a visual que with the to[p center 4 tail feathers longer than the rest. But I don't ahve enogh data to say it works better or worse as of yet.

AND

I am going to experiment this year and set all 3 of my strutters in a group away from one lone hen on some Wary Ole Single gobbler just to see what will happen.
