I use a fullstrut decoy and hen in the breeding position placed in front. Mostly on field birds. And if I know which way the birds are coming from I face the decoyl in the opposite direction. Especially with a bow. Several of the birds we have taken,were coming in for a sucker punch. They seem to approach a deke when they can't see its head, a little faster. And I like using a decoy late in the season. After those henned up field toms lose their girlfriends. And some areas vary from season to season. I have had longbeards walk away or stay away from decoys. And some longspurred ones too. Good luck this spring.
