I haven't tagged one yet this season with 13 days left. I'm debating if I should start putting out a single hen decoy. What's Aldeer thoughts on this and I switched to an aluminum pot call to get the sound out further and add a different tone.

Ditch the hen. Use a 1/4 or half strut Jake right now. This late in the season if I am forced to use a decoy that has proven to be the most successful. this *unless* you know for a fact you’re dealing with an extreme subordinate gobbler - years ago i shot a bird in a road bed over a hen decoy on the last day of season, but he was definitely subordinate & had a skinny jake buddy with him with decoys, you have to know if your birds are lovers or fighters lol

We found a pasture gobbler at a buddies farm that would make his way to a blacktop driveway in the middle of the pasture and strut and gobble there on the blacktop until his hens came. We would not see him coming there he would just appear there.
We set up before good light and put out a hen in the strut zone.
That SOB pitched off a the top of hardwood ridge 300 yards away and sailed straight over the farmhouse right down the driveway and landed 80 yards from us.
They can work in the right situation but they can also booger you.
