Just curious, how many of you successful turkey hunters set up on a field w/decoys and how many set-up in the woods w/decoys.
We got our birds in the woods w/out dekes.

I got mine in a field with no dekes, because everytime I had dekes out the toms stayed about 70 yards away and gobbled their fool heads off.

when the alfalfa is small and hay fields are small they hang out in the fields once it gets tall like it was this year they hang out on the ridge tops that are partly trees and partly short grass. The grass is not as tall in there because the sun can't get to it.

Killed mine with a deke out in a field, but I snuck up on him. The two toms didn't care at all about the deke I had out. I would venture to say I have killed 75% of my birds in a field.

Last year I killed my bird in the woods with no dekes ..... this year I killed my bird in a field with no dekes.
At sunup I am usually in the woods somewhere close to where they are roosting ..... if that doesnt work I run and gun going wherever the birds are. I never use decoys.

mostly in the woods, and usually without decoys....I've had more luck without decoys than with them.

By far prefer the woods. Rarely set a decoy unless I have worked the same bird prior and could not close the distance using my usual tactics.

Mostly in the woods. After watching birds react to the DSD jake this year, I will probably have it or a stuffer out on every set up that it is possible. I've never laughed in the woods as hard as I did when the last bird came into the DSD and they had a standoff for about 20 minutes.
