how many did they scare off to get that one bird that came in?

I have seen a stutter scare one bird. However I am not going to use a big stutter. Small Jake strutter. I also think they work better in high population areas. If more than one bird comes in and they see it...theybare coming to it. It may scare some that dont gobble that I never see but like I said any gobbling bird coming in that has seen the strutter has come to it besides one.

Onetime in Nebraska i was hunting a huge field surrounded by timber. A bird was gobbling over a hill about 300 yds out. He gobbled there and strutted for over an hr. When he finally got to where he could see the decoys he tucked his wings and was there in seconds. This past weekend in Texas there was two birds I wouldn't have killed without it because of having to pull them out a field away from hens. A bird cant handle a Jake strutting over the top of a hen. When he sees it hes coming.

You get a bird in the right aggressive mindset and a strutting decoy can be a slam dunk. This one came clear across a pasture, circled him to face him. Textbook. I could have been wearing a Santa clause suit and he wouldn’t have seen me

Now I have had birds come on beat the decoy kill one. Have another bird gobble at shot. Sit there and when he sees the decoy kicked over and not looking normal him bot come in.
