[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 3195195, member: 69"] With my style of turkey hunting I almost always carry a couple of dekes. I always start off hunting the edges of timber listening for birds or in the timber. I leave the dekes at the edge of the field or sometimes I even set them up in the field before hitting the timber. If I tag a turkey in the woods I just loop back through and pick up the dekes. If not then I work my way back to the field where I have the dekes set up and in many instances there are birds in the field with my dekes. Sometimes I'll hunt the timber and return to set up in the fields later into the morning with my dekes. I've seen birds that hit the fields like clockwork at a certain time and I'll beat them to the fields by 1/2 hour, set up, and wait for them to show. Sometimes I'm a passive hunter and sometimes I'll run and gun. The run and gun isn't for using dekes. I've probably killed as many birds using dekes as I have without using them. The point is I have faith in them and don't hesitate using them. [/QUOTE]
