Default RE: How many decoys do you bring?

ORIGINAL: Beezer

The first three turkeys I took came in to one hen and one jake, they were a jake and two gobblers. The third I had a full strut gobbler and two hens out, but I don't think he saw the dekes because of high grass. I did have two jakes come up and walk right on by the gobbler and two hens the next day, presumably because they wanted no part of a can whoop-a$$ from a bigger turkey.

I may be wrong, but my main plan now is to use two hens and a jake for one reason....I think any grown gobbler or jake will come to a jake decoy, but only a gobbler that means business willwalk in on a strutting gobbler. Way I see it, chances are better with a jake because the threat of getting a spanking from a jake is way less than getting one from a gobbler.
Dido!
