I've used a hen and a jake sometimes, other times two hens and a jake. This morning, I went out with a co-worker and called for him and we used two jakes and two hens. The more decoys, the better, especially if two hunters are hunting together. Each hunter can carry a couple of decoys and set up a small flock. Believe me, it works well!

I have used two decoys one hen and one jake this seems to work well for me.

3 decoys, 1 jake and 2 hens

i was going to use 4 decoys 3 hens and 1 jake...do u think thats too many??? there arnt too many turkeys around where im going so i figure if a tom saw the 3 hens he might come runnin...would that work or should i knock it down to 2 hens?

dude, the more decoys there are, the more comfortable the tom feels.....

Well that sounds about right but the best thing is the way to set it up.
