Decoys or Not

[appalachianassassin]

Kentucky opener is tomorrow and the farm I am hunting is mostly open fields with a woodline on the edges. Im pretty limited on places to set up on the woodline so I cant really reposition once they fly down in the field so Id like to bring them to my setup. What is everyones experience with using Jake & Hen , Jake only, or Hen only in the early stage of the season?

One thing to point out is opening day start's in the mid season now.

Hunt the way you want and good luck regardless ... It's Spring Turkey Season

As Appalachian assassin said, the turkeys here have been breeding for close to a month from what I've been seeing in my area as far as flock structure. With that said, I don't use decoys personally but for my kids and dad, they come out every time. I use a Jake and hen, with the hen laying on the ground say 4 feet in front of the Jake. Good luck!.

Is that a BLACK TIE on that Funky Chicken?  Looks as if we have a BLACK TIE affair dinner.  LOL!

Decoys can really help with field birds.  Good luck on the opener, whatever you choose to do!

I use a Velcro strap to tie the decoy stakes to the lounger and kept losing it. Figured it went with the decor at hand and haven't lost it yet.

Still waiting to see if Funky will scare off a big ol' Tom with such a fine beard.

I thought it was a velcro strap and a makeshift beard but for the life of me I couldn't figure out why such a huge beard on a scrawny bird.  Let us know how the experiment works.  Just a little Funky Chicken humor.

I thought about getting a Funky Chicken but instead i got me a survey stake and painted it black put me a red solo cup nailed to the top of the stake and it works...

The owner is obviously an elitist!

On a field they definitely help. Use one and don't look back.
