Gun on a rest on your knee! On your other knee get one of those "panhandlers" that let's you strap the pot call to your knee.

1. I think 25 yds away is pretty far to put your dekes.
2. I would be somewhat in position to shoot. Not neccesarily shouldered & ready, but up some on your knee at least.

I purchased a Pimos Trigger Stick about two weeks ago and it works great for holding your gun in place. It has a rubber strap to strap your gun to the stick, and it is ajustable with just a pull of the trigger.

i set there with my gun up and my primos freak straped to my leg and a diaphram call in my mouth.

Gun on a knee rest pointed in the direction I expect him to come from. I usually try and keep the butt of the gun on my shoulder too with my friction call in my left hand under the receiver. If he comes out of nowhere, the call gets dropped into my lap and I'm almost in position to shoot.

Good Question, seems like I am never in the right position. The best is Gun Up and Ready in the right Direction. You young Flexiable Hunters can have your knee up and the gun resting on it. Thats just not that easy for me. I am 60 and 335 [:@]So what I do is IF I can be ready. I have gun laying in my lap if I am using the Box or Slate and Most always I use a Mouth Call so I have my hands on the gun. If he's coming, the safty is OFF. When He Goes behind a Tree are turns the Fan to me I put the Gun up and if its a Bird with no trees and he is not strutting. I can SNAP shoot him, sure I have missed a few. But that works best for me.

One of the purposes of using decoys is to focus the gobblers attention away from the shooter. By placing decoys any closer to the hunter it will increase the chances of being spotted by their excellent eye sight.

Secondly it is an advantage to set the decoys at the distance you want the gobbler to come and stop for your shot. Shots in the range of 25-30 yards should be a harvested gobbler every time. If you set the decoys closer and the gobbler comes closer the pattern will be tighter and the hold and aim will must be more precise.

The most stable shooting position is setting against a sturdy big tree with both legs anchored and using your knee for a rest, it is also one of the most concealed postures, is the safest and a comfortable position should one need to set for long periods of time.
