Ok I have never hunted with a strutter deke before and I got the 1/4 strut jake now. Do you position him facing you, directly away from your or where. I normally face my dekes towards me but just curious on the strutter.

facing you they will always approach with aggression head on. i really dnt like using a strutteras they can scare one off.

Not if you use a strutting jake.

Myself, I always try and face the male towards me but Im not sure if it really matters though. From my experience they seem to move to the head but end up moving around it like they are sizing their foe up. I generally have been given a decent shot at harvesting the bird if they commit to it.

It really don't matter. Bowhunting I have it facing me, but it really doesn't matter.
