I think decoys are great if you know how to use them. If the birds are hot and are breeding heavy then place a jake with your hens. If it is towards then end then just put out 1 or 2 hens this way the bird will come in with little resistence just trying to get the last of them bred. DONT PLACE THEM OUT OF SHOOTING RANGE!! I would place the jake behind the hens as if to be following them to make it look like the jake is about to get the hen. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
