Man, I'm pumped for this season. Wish I could skip ahead 10 days to the 22nd.
This is the first year I'll be using decoys. In the past I've just monitored their paths pre-season with trail camera data and set up where I think they'll be with minimal calling.
Doing the same thing this year, but adding two decoys and some more calling. Using a jake and hen decoy set.

Anyone have experience with using decoys? I think I'll set mine up 10-15 yards out from where I'm sitting. That way I can hit them on their approach to the decoys when they break 40yds

I’m not decoy expert, I usually run a single hen because I feel it’s the most versatile and allows me to move and set without completely reorganizing myself.

On a private parcel, you could run a couple hens and a jake; mix between feeders and breeders and you could draw some jealous Toms in real nice!
