I have a hen for my daughter and I use a pair, however I'm a turkey hunting hack so take that for what it is worth. We set up on field edge far enough apart not to shoot each other's birds. Kind of like a pair and a single down along the field.

depends on where I am hunting. In the woods I might not use a decoy. In a field I might use two hens and a jake or a b mobile and a hen.

Talked to a guy Sunday that took his young son out and he reported to me that everything shyed away from decoy and 2 nice tom's were scare off by 2 hen coming in to them. So last nite they went out with no decoys and his boy had shots at 4 toms but was to busy listening to his Ipod and get a shot. so I'm thinking maybe just a Jake in the morning, in the field and nothing in the woods.

If I'm in the woods or other thick terrain, I may keep the dekes in the bag, but I have found a great combo in the King Strut and the DSD hen. I use real wings and a real fan on the KS.

From what I've been seeing in KY and in Southern IN, I would say the Jake is the way to go. Birds are still flocked up pretty good. Killed my second KY bird, a long beard, out of a flock of 17 Jakes and 2 toms. Used B-Mobile w/ jake fan.

Zero, I've had better luck without them.
