That's what I was referring to essentially. Also a lot of times when running Jake decoys it depends on Jake population in the area. A couple years ago I was hunting out of state and it was overrun with Jake's. Even the thought of putting out a Jake decoy scared the gobblers off.
I've heard that's a possibility. Fortunately never happened to me, but something to consider if it ever does. I have had jake decoys scare birds off several times. My dad and I quit using decoys for a number of years because of that. For what its worth, that was in Missouri back when we had jake hit squads patrolling every day.

Had a gobbler turn and run on a jake and hen set up Saturday afternoon. Took the jake out of the set up and later in the afternoon 2 more came in and turned at just the hen but didn't run off. Filled my first Osceola tag with one of them. Wish though I had had a hen out this morning. Had a gobbler hang up at 60 or so yards for 45 minutes or so. May have come on in if he could've seen the hen making the noise. yup

I just used dekes for the first time the other day, foam jake and a hen on the ground in front of him. I enjoyed watching the old tom strut around, he finally got close the the jake and stretched up what looked like 6 feet tall. That just made for a great target.

To each his own but until I start having more birds run off...very rarely happens...I'm gone run a Jake and hen in a big open area...roads, fields, pastures, pipelines,etc...Basically anywhere I know i cant set up to make them have to look for me and me be within killing distsnce. It has proven in the past to work 9 times out 10 and until that changes I'll keep doing it. Early season I run a dsd Jake stutter, dsd mating hen, and dsd leading hen if I am hunting a big open area. I am gone have to disagree with bgd. I have had more birds see a hen decoy and hang up out of range and just strut around than I have had spooke from a Jake decoy. I’m not a decoy user but thought you just stuck them in the ground. Had no idea you had to RUN around with them. Learn something new every day on aldeer.

I prefer to get my exercise in when I hunt to ensure I dont get fatter.

Strutting decoys have spooked so many I refuse to use them. I agree. It's funny how almost every single kill on the Primos DVD has a strutter of some sort in it. Killer B, Dirty B, Gobstopper, etc. are all basically full fan decoys.

Selling product is what that’s called I mean, I get that. My point is the turkeys come in to the set up. Maybe they're hunting planted birds?
