If there were 13 jakes at your decoys and the tom hung up at 100 yards, he might be a tom trying to stay out of a fight with a gang of hormone driven "teenage" jakes. He's waiting for the hens to come to him.

I agree with the others too. A decoy in the open can hang up a tom faster than anything on the planet. I kill almost all my turkeys without decoys. Keeps them coming in looking for that hen that's just out of sight...specially when I turn down the volume and it sounds like she's slipping away. I still carry the decoys for those few occasions when they help.
