I was just wondering how many decoys you will be using in your hunt? I will be using one hen and one jake.

Most of the time, I will start out the 1st setup of the day with a jake and a hen. If I don' t have any luck with the 1st setup, I usually abandon the dekes. I prefer to run and gun and decoys are just something else to have to carry and setup and takedown. In my opinion they aren' t worth the hassle if you like to move a lot like I do.

Me and Garen used 4 decoy set up last February and it worked wonders. A bunch of big gobs came right in to them. They weren' t busted up yet, still around in big groups.

I usually carry two hens and a jake. It really depends on where I am hunting. I often dont carry them at all. Especially when Im moving alot. There have been times though that I did not have them and I wish I did.
