Do watch the latest Turkey TV shows if yo can. You will witness typical behavior of what Toms will do arround decoys at times.

For hens Face them away from you or at least one of two hens - Toms approach a hen from the back to to back side to mate.

At times Toms will go beak to beak with Tom decoys - so face them at you.

When I place decoys they are always close - like 10 steps away as I am in a blind - and I try to make it look real. That is hen/jake or Tom real close no more than a yard apart - and one hen off 5 to 9 yards from these two. this hen is always in a feeding position and not at alert!

I place them close and off slightly to the left of the blind for one reason - I don't want no one sneaking up behind me. That close they wil see the blind. And I am a righ hand shooter.
The blind - I never brush it in at all but let it stick out like a sore thumb. More for my protection! I do use shaydy sides of fields to stay in the shadows longer and do like to place it under over hanging branches. But I do not brush it in.
My blinds are used exclusivley for field. On fields I can see a long ways and so can other hunters! I will palce them on the edge of a field again keeping the sun to my back.

I even place full body hens right on the groundwith no stake in and in front of the Tom or Jake to try to make it look as it that hen was in mating position. Hens in the wild will lay down to allow the Tom to mount her as the Tom walks up and stands on her back!

pay attention to flocks you see out there. Mimic what yous see. If using 2 hens don't bunch them but keep a few yards between them.
