You used the word 'sexy decoys' so I'm assuming you're using 1 or 2 hen dekes?

If you're only using hens you could switch it up and try a quarter strut jake decoy with the hens, or try using a lone strutter. It's hard to get them to leave the live ladies - either wait them out like Zim recommends, or try to get them mad with another male...

With that said, I've killed more birds using hen helps + a gobble tube than any other method, with or without dekes - so you could also try keeping only the hen dekes and just mixing in some gobbler sounds. A lone gobble can quickly grab their attention and get at least one of them running in your direction.
