The correct location of decoys is an important factor in a successful hunt. Methods of placement depend mainly on the direction of the wind. Lately, a large number of diverse moving decoys, working in the wind, and on batteries have appeared. Remember that your decoy should be easily noticeable, so don’t try to hide it.
Try to find a high site with a good field of view. Keep in mind the fact that you should stay motionless, so the position you use should be comparatively comfortable and roomy.
Do not place decoys very close to each other; it may create a sense of anxiety and scare away birds. Turkeys do not stay close but scatter over considerable distances. They gather in groups only if they sense danger.
