lately using no decoys has been working for me. but i always have them with me. usually early season i use a strutter or jake and a submissive hen. place them near each other with the jake or strutter appearing to be ready to breed her. sometimes just a lone hen works great too. gotta let the birds tell you what they want, and something might work one day and not the next. late season i run and gun but i always carry a lone hen just in case.
