So I have been scouting my friend's land in the evening, and was able to locate a flock of 15 hens and 6 big strutters in the open field with patches of trees bordering the field. The strutters were really working those hens. And in the corner, 100 yards from the big flock, I spotted 4 jakes, keeping their distance. My season starts on the 25th and this will be my first turkey hunt.
I wasnt expecting to spot so many turkeys at once, so now I am not sure what would be the best way to get a strutter with that big flock. I have a hen and jake decoys.
Here are some pics I managed to grab of the flock:(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170413/755528d67126d13fee5030fbea024522.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170413/018d47481b2541855fa2481c8585098f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170413/c352e8b328d83ee5fd555fe5a55e1ded.jpg)

Looks like you're almost in range in one pic. Find the roost n set up where they fly down or are going to.
Roost them the night before. Set up between the roost and where they enter the field. If they get out in the middle of the field with hens it will be a long day.

They were in the middle of the field but all moving together from one side of the field to another, possibly giving me a shooting chance of I set up within the woods. Since I observed the 5 jakes all huddled up about 100 yards away from any hens or strutters, it's safe to assume I could use my jake + hen decoy combo.

If using a shotgun, I'd leave the dekes in the truck. That's just my opinion
