If you break up flock, a hen decoy could be helpful kee-kee-ing. It brings them back just about every time.
by the way, the kee-kee is a call.
Agreed, one or two hen dekes has worked for me.
I think try keep the real birds "distracted" while I make my move !
I say use em'.
dont use decoys during the fall and dont call any
i ve never used them in fall but i dont see why a hen decoy wouldnt work. as for spring i ve killed birds with and without decoys but now after i bought a full strut decoy i never leave home with out it. the first day i used it i had three birds down by noon. all shot in very highly pressured woods. If your a serious turkey hunter you should definitely have a full strut decoy in your turkey vest.
