[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5093923, member: 1409"] Agree, but keep in mind they often cause birds to "hang up" on the other side of that hill, and those may be birds you never saw, never see, but might have had you not placed the decoys. To place a decoy on any rise or hill, how do you go there without running high risk of a distant turkey seeing you? Generally, this can only be done (without visual risk) at least 45 minutes before sunrise. But then later, you have to go retrieve those decoys, meaning, that, particularly hunting a smaller property, you are now placing more hunting "pressure" on your birds. More pressured birds generally become harder to kill, and often just move off your property onto less pressured adjoining property. [/QUOTE]
