I really appreciate the info, I am wondering if you are real slow and careful would you be able to unzip these things a bit more if you already had them started.(with bird present but not staring at you) When I set this sucker up and climbed in for the first time the other day, I knew I would have some questions about this deal. Been hunting since I was a kid and this kind of setup is all new to me. Thanks very much for all input, it gives me a bit more confidence.

I leave the back closed to keep it as dark in the blind as possible. I hunt with three decoys, a jake and two hens. I put the jake closest to the blind FACING ME head on, with the hens staggering behind. that old tom will come to that jake every time to kick his (tail). They like to face head on to challenge, and you will be close and personal with him when he does!
They very often walk all the way around my blind and NEVER have spooked. It is a really cool setup. I plan to have my 3 1/2 year old son with me opening morning under the same circumstances. He is biting at the bit to go turkey hunting!!
I,m also trying the dave smith decoys this year. These things look GREAT!!

Timber,
I have heard more than one person tell me that they will absolutely come in around the blind. This is why I am using it with my son. He had some real tough luck last year and we are out to settle the score. I really appreciate the tips because I am clueless on this type of hunting.
