I have deleted many of my pix from last season ofmy DB Matrix and Buckwing decoys but I did manage to find this one on one of my host sites. It's from a few seasons ago with the Double Bull T5 blind and Delta decoys. It still shows how I prefer to place my decoys when I'm bowhunting. I call this my "triangle of death set-up" using 1 Jake and 2 hens.I always place a Jake decoy at no more than15 yards away and ALWAYS facing myblind this way the Tom will come in to face the Jake and this will give me the best chance of drawing undetected in any scenerio and allow me the perfect shot. I stake the Hens just to the side and position them assuming that the Tom will approach them from behind the majority of the time.

This was a set up from last year....We killed 2 birds in this set up last year. Its a huge hill and the decoy sits right at the top so it can be seen from either side of the hill. Then we set up about 20 yards away and above the decoys. The birds have no idea. We even had hens and jakes walkrightup to the bush I was hiding behind.

Yea ..... I do try to use the ( Love Triangle ) when ever possiable , I'll have the " jake decoy " facing me about 10 to 15 yards in front and the two " hen's " on each side of the " jake " but further out like 20 yards or so.
Some times I'll just use the two hens or even one and not even get the jake out.
