Bob,
Always a controversial subject but this is exactly why I gave up decoys consistent to my set-ups years ago.In my neck of the woods I use a jake/hen combination the first week of our season on flocked birds still establishing dominance,which usually is the case around these parts.Its common to have multiple grouped 2 year olds come a runnin to kick butt on that ole buckwing jake deke that 1st week!After dominance is established,and breeding begins as T.R. pointed out my dekes go back into the closet for another year.One on one I want that gobbler looking for me and not my plastic hen.If you wouldn't of had dekes out I'm sure that gobbler wouldv'e kept coming looking for that hen he heard earlier!If he's coming I remain quiet and let him hold the line!Experience has told me you dont need a decoy out to let a gobbler no where your at.A gobblers ability to pinpoint sound at great distances is incredible and I like to use that to my advantage instead of giving myself up using a deke!If he gobbles at your calls more often times than not he knows where you are.The only other thing I would've possibly done different is like S&R set-up closer.The shorter the distance he has to travel the less chances there are in things to go wrong,terrain,hens,hunters,etc..and on a bird like this particular one often times the only thing you end up seeing is a gobblers head just taking a peek!!
