Default Turkey decoy setup questions

I have hunted over different combinations of hens, jakes and full size toms and anytime I have a male decoy out there I have NEVER gotten a bird to come whether it is early or later season.

I have only had luck with one or two hen decoys usually feeding.

I am thinking of putting one hen feeding and the other submissive without a male decoy.

What are your thoughts on that type of setup?

If anyone has tried this and did work for you, or is it just a bad idea, like I said if there is a male the birds no jakes or tom just will not come in, I don't understand it. But these birds are pressured pretty heavy when the first weekend comes in, our season starts on Monday so I have several days before they get really spooked.

I understand what works one day may not work the rest of the year but year in and year out if I have a male decoy out there it has been a waste of time.

Thanks
