Lovett:
There have been many hunts I have been amazed at how a decoy has worked--sometimes there have been literally one minute hunts when a Gobbler has flown down seconds after hens flew down and within 45 seconds he has raced over to our gobbler decoy to establish his dominance. Other times the presence of the Gobbler decoy has held a gobbler up from getting close eough to shoot. Same thing has happend with a hen decoy--although I realize there are times when the hen doesn't come to him, he may hold up--but other times he comes right on in to the hen. I realize that it's all about the context of each situation in nature, but is there anythin gwe can do ahead of time to determine what that context might be--or is it a crapshoot. Thanks for all your advice. Larry
