Painting a jake decoy.

I painted the neck of my semi-strut jake decoy red, but should I also paint the snood and the flap on his neck red?

I painted mine (pretty crappy factory job). I copied what I thought was one of the best out there, the DSD. The pic below is what I copied...

Absolutely you want the decoy to look As realistic as possible turkeys eye sight and attention to detail is remarkable make it look real and you should fool that gobbler in to back that old jake down
