Don't use em very often and can't say they have really done much for getting me any birds when I have used them.

I used them every time when I first started. Not so much anymore I just find that they are too much of a pain for the type of hunting that i do. If I decide I am going to sit in one spot for a while i will put out a hen and maybe a jake. If I know there is a boss gobbler around without a lot of hens I will put a strutter and hen up and have pretty good luck with that.

I use them pretty much everytime I hunt. I have had too many instances where the turkey came running when they saw the decoy.
I have to admit however, they are a pain to carry.

Don't use them much, but I bought a B-Mobile last year and gonna start using it a little this year. Using a real fan also to make it more realistic. I usually run-n-gun a little too much to carry all those decoys, but I'm gonna let Bmobile try to do some more of the work. I'll let you guys know how it works out. Hopefully will work this Saturday...

I own a foam body hen decoy and a rubber body jake decoy. I have used the hen as a solo decoy for two seasons, just bought the jake last year on an "after the season" clearance sale, so it has not been used yet. I'm still new at incorporating decoys successfully into my hunts.
"I admire a good turkey hunter chiefly because such a man displays qualities that we usually associate with pioneer America-patience, enthusiasm, woodcraft, game sense, and a quiet hardihood undaunted by rain, by cold, by long tough miles, by disappointment."

I used some inflatable ones last year...a jake and a couple hens. I've upgraded this year to a B-mobile and a She-mobile. We'll see how it goes!

I just bought a B-Mobile and will get to try it out this year. The last couple years I have used a hen & a jake with mixed results. I am hoping to get a bird this year and use the real fan instead of the B-Mobile one.

I have used decoys in the past. But I have not used this much in the past few years.
