Decoys & formations

[Bookmaker]

Hey guys I know theres a ton of deeks out there, But I want to know which
ones you prefer and in what formation.
I have one lone feeding hen, I can`t remember the make but it looks kind of good to me. Althoght the birds and deer look at it like it`s from outerspace.
Also do you change deeks and thier position as the season goes?
Thanks for your responce.

I use Delta and Carry Lite.

Here's what I do :

Set your dekes close to your tent. No more than 10-15 yards. Your tent will not spook the birds as long as your quite.

If I think the Tom will be comming in from my left, I'll face each of the dekes facing right to give the impression that they are walking away from him when he appears. He'll run to catch up with them. Or visa versa.

The Tom deke should be facing somewhat towards you cause when the Gobbler sees him, the first thing he'll do is square off with him with his back to you, giving you the oppertunity to draw without being seen.

BTW, I always use feeding hen dekes, an alert hen will cause him to do a double take on the situation.

Thunderhead said it all. I tried all kinds of different deke combinations last year and couldn't get the birds to come in,,,, until I went with a lone hen deke and a cluck every five minutes. Go figure! But it got my tag filled.
Good luck!

for the first season i will go with two hen decoys heads semi down and i place them max 10 yards from the stand and both of them faceing the blind and the decoy spread about 5 feet apart. latter in the season i will kick out the jack decoy and he goes right beside the hen
