What kind of decoy would you use?
 
If you could carry only one decoy, which would it be? Jake? Feeding hen? Alert hen? Gobbler? I'll also count a Jake/hen breeding combination as one.

It depends on the situation and where I'm hunting. One area that I hunt the Toms seem really agressive and I killed two this year when the came right to my 1/2 strut jake decoy. I did have a hen out then but they came to the jake. I also got a bird over just a hen decoy this year.

I would use a Sceery® "Full Strut Jake" and a resting hen.

I would definitely go with a hen over a jake. i dont know about feeding or head-up, probably the head up one.

I'd get out a Feather Flex hen, and then turn around and put it back in the truck and go hunt without one.

i have a bunch of dekes,and i have had experianced hunters advise me to simply give them what they want in the spring,a hen decoy in any position.its been working for me and leaves more room in my vest.

I've given up on the dekes too.. birds around here either hang up out of range waiting for them hen to come to them or seem scared of them... I don't know which.

I'm a big fan of a jake and hen combo. Especially early in the year. There's nothing more that a tom hates than a jake trying to get in on some of his action!!
