Default Last minute advice

Well, I've let the fields that I've been seeing all the toms in rest for 4 days now but intend to try it again in the morning. My blind is set up in a strip of woods between the two fields. The field edges are about 12 yards from the blind. They do seem to respond to the decoys that I set out last week. My friend came by this afternoon and gave me 4 more decoys. So here's what I have to work with. 1 B-Moble, 1 She- Mobile, 2 standing inflatable hens, 1 feeding inflatable hen and 1 inflatable jake. How would you set up the decoys? I thought about the Primos decoys in one field and the jake and a hen in the other field. BTW, I can shoot both fields from my position. Sorry to aggrivate you guys to death, just want to get that 1st bird behind me. Thanks in advance.

God Bless,

ok here is what i would do..
1st field--b-mobile, she-mobile and feeding hen
2nd field-- jake with 2 hens.

as long as you keep the jakes seperate you should be good to go.

Default RE: Last minute advice

I suppose that would work well.I'd put the contented hen (she mobile) with a jake decoy and a feeding or even an upright hen with B-Mobile. Most of the gobblers are going to come to b-mobile if they think the hen ain't all that into him, or if they think they can lure him away.... and conversely if a gobbler sees a jake about to breed a hen..... better have the safety off!

Just remember, once the birds are insight of your decoys (especially inside 100 yards) I'd keep the call quiet. Thats not an insult to a novice either, because thats exactly what I do. I treat them just like ducks. Turkeys and ducks can pinpoint exactly where a noise is coming from, and if it ain't from the decoys.... spook city.
