Take the hundred bucks you wasted on the B Mobile and go buy 15 other decoys thatll work just as good?

Wake up on the wrong side of the cave this mornin' King?
For starters the B-mobile runs about $70, not $100.
722, B-mobile is the selling point of your set-up. Just get
a cheap hen deke. You can itset low to the ground to resemble
the breeding position.

I might just go get a standard hen and leave the stick out and set her flat on the ground a few feet from your B-M as if ready to mate.

Yeah... I guess I may not be in the best of moods...
I get irritated by people's need to buy the crap they sell on tv, I have 3 deeks, they have lasted me over 4 years and all of em together cost 35 dollars.

My advice, Don't take the B Mobile on public property number 1.
2. Get a cheapo hen and set her up close to his shoulder so it looks like the tom is dominate. If its one(hen)you can set on the ground(without a stake) put her so it looks like she wants some gobbler.
That'll probably make a nearby lonesome bird pretty jealous.

Take two hens or one hen and a jake. Set no more thantwo at a time. Their not like ducks they are not going to lock up into a huge spread. Too many might actually detur smaller jakes. In my exp the dekes are thrown out in a rush anyway when you locate that bird that is close you need to set up fast.
