If so which ones?
I usually have a cheap hen and jake. Been looking for some new ones and man they got some expensive ones on the market now.

I have 3 rubber molded Hunter Specialities decoys (upright hen, feeding hen, upright jake) and a Primos Killer B Gobbler. Paid about $25 for all 3 HS decoys and $9.99 for the Killer B (Post season walmart clearance).

Depending on where I setup dictates how many and which type of decoy I set out.

I try not to, but sometimes I do if I'm hunting an open pasture and have no clue where they're coming from.

Can't remember the brand but anything that looks like a turkey will bring them in if they are interested.

yes, Avian X. Birds don't know know they're fake. Had a hen and a jake around mine a few years ago. The jake was strutting and bumping into it and the hen was pecking at it.

I don't always use them but always have the same two hens I've carried for the past 15 or so years. They seem to work but have had some run the other way when seeing a decoy before my senior citizen ones and some over the nice ones.

They work well but can sometimes scare them.

I use them in the afternoon when hunting pipelines. Don't really carry them in the mornings. I use whatever I can find on sale.

Never in my life

I move way too much and don't feel like carrying them around

If I hunted more open areas, I might use them

Only if I am taking kids or adults that don't understand the meaning of "don't fricking move."
