    DSD Jake and DSD submissive hen in a breeding position has proved over and over to be the most deadly set up I've ever used. When that fails usually towards late season I will try a big set up 6-7 decoys mostly cheap foam ones and a few nice ones mixed in and have had a few gobblers come from a distance to check out the new gang of birds in his are.

    I'm a run & gun Turkey hunter. I use 2 foam hens and a strutter from turkeyfan.com It's a pop up umbrella with a photo image of a gobbler on it. It fits in a backpack easily

    I have to try that setup with my decoys. Makes sense that a Gobbler would come in hard if he sees breeding going on.

    I agree... makes sense to me. I've been looking at various sets on the 'net... and it seems sets need to vary according to the 'rut' period they're in. So to me the ideal 'package' to have available to set out at any given time would be: (2) feeding hens; (1) submissive hen; (1) lookout upright hen; (1) jake; and (1) full-strut Tom.
