if you are refering to your decoys as being the jake and hen. many of the decoys out there aren't that good, infact all market decoys will spook game at some point or another, that is why you see so many guides using taxidermied decoys. all i use now is taxidermied decoys because i got tired of getting up at the crack of dawn to have a cheap delta decoy freak out a hen and ruin my day.

I agree with the rest of the fella's. Last year I got a picture on my trail camera with 8 jakes in full strut. I found the gobblers on that property to be more wary than years before. I have had mixed luck with jake decoys. I also admit that i am not a decoy fanatic either. I learned to hunt in AL where they were only legalized a few years ago.

Two years ago I had a group of two hens and a jake decoy and had two toms come running from at least 1000yds when they heard my calling and then at about 70 yds they saw the jake decoy and wouldn't come in next morning I got rid of the jake and took one of them.
