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