Awesome stuff, splitting the strutter and hen decoy 30 to 40 yd apart was a huge help. I've normally been sitting them 10 yd or so between. Tried splitting them up for the first time this weekend, punched the tag because he looped around right in between the two.

Thank you! Very informative, can’t wait to try these techniques.

I’ve been using them for about 18 years now and I agree with most you say except the facing the strutter at the direction a Tom come in . What I do is I use a pulley system which I can turn my decoy 360 degrees . What I do is keep the butt at the Tom and I’ll turn my decoy to face the Tom for about 3-5 seconds then I face the butt at the Tom . Then a couple minutes later I’ll do the same thing it shows the Tom that the jake decoy is subdominant . Not only does it bring in the Tom’s it will also bring in the boss hen . Especially if you use some exciting calling and mimic her. I use them from the beginning and last day . I also have a diagram and a video on how I use my strutter . Just go on my channel and I have it posted . I also show you how I made the pulley system . I too mainly use feeders cause I’ve used upright hens and a lot of the times the Tom’s would hand up 60-80 yards gobbling trying to get the hen to come to him . I’m no pro I just love hunting them and helping others that want to know how I get them in . I use DSD but you can use almost any brand , it’s the posture I think that matters . Goodluck to everyone and safe hunting .

Thank you for sharing good information on Decoys.

This video is obviously not for the naysayers so move on. I've turkey hunted for more than 60 years and decoys have NEVER failed me. Listen to this man.

Thank you for the tips

I like to use a jake decoy and a hen. I place the jake facing away from where I think the turkey will be coming from. My reasoning is, it may stop the tom from getting hung up out of range and will walk around the decoy, thus being facing the decoy and being closer.

Excellent info! Thank you!

Thank you for the info , great content!

Very well said. Glad I watched.

Last year i got a gobble. Set my decoy up in the road. He stepped out and saw me setting it up. Ran off. Lol

I like to place my decoys outside. That seems to be where the turkeys are

Someone gave me a decoy a few years ago. I placed it in the garbage can.

Thanks

Real waterfowl hunters don’t use decoys either right?

Mondale pa?! I grew up in Olyphant

Where is Montel, PA? I'm from PA and never heard of Montel.

I love to see a show about turkey snake boots copperhead don't rattle around where I live at.

Good Lord Willing!! Amen.

Use decoys, don’t use decoys.. who cares. Stop worrying about what the “pros” in the comments think. Turkey deep fries the same shot over a decoy or not.

Isn't that use decoys ?

That’s because Khabib is around the corner😂

I beleive decoys will cost you a bird more than will get a bird killed. How ever until you kill a mature longbeard in the late season over a breeder hen you really cant speak against it.

How to use decoys... Don't.

Do live hens make sure they are set up like you suggest?

Perfect decoy placement = leave that shi at the house.

Real turkey hunter done use decoys

Or just be a man and don’t use a decoy in the woods

Best place, on the shelf where you found them
