I have one particular field that I use a 1/4 jake decoy to draw a longbeard into gun range. My thought is that if I get him to commit to my calling enough that he gets to the field or can see out into it, I want him to see something. This is the only place I use them anymore. The decoy stays in the shooting house because I’m damn sure not lugging it around the woods. A clear departure from me as a novice hunter setting up decoys every time I sat down.
