Upright and Jake

[JP_hntnfsh]

I have an upright hen and a Jake decoy...what type of set up would you recommend for these three scenario's?

1.) In a blind in a wide open field...

2.) Edge of a field either in or out of a blind...

3.) Woods

I usually set up my decoys close but what I am wondering is more the positioning of the these two together. My thoughts gravitated towards the hen angled and the Jake a couple feet behind her looking straight at me.

My opinion would be to set the hen about 15-20 yards out, then set the jake about 10 yards behind hen,same distance from you as the hen. Would not matter if I were hunting open woods or fields. I'e hope to kill the turkey standing /walking around the Jake.

Facing me...Angling one way or another...directly in line with each other???

Would not matter where the hen was facing, but I'd have the jake looking at her.

Just what works for me....hope it will for you! Good Luck

what has worked well for me is to put a jake decoy a few feet behind the hen.

I like the hen low with the jake mounting her. Works better with aq feeding hen though.
