Up til this point all the birds I have gotten I have taken without dekes. A few days ago I had a tom hang up thirty yards away from my decoys. The decoys were twenty yards out for a total of fifty yards. This is a shot some guys would take but I am uncomfortable with. Despite my soft purring he slowly strutted away.

I am thinking I should move the decoys closer to my blind, like 5-10 yards away. I am also thinking of getting some A way turkey skinz to make my dekes a little more realistic. Any thoughts?
