Strutter or jake deke: your preference

[gophert]

Early season I have had more luck with the strutter.  Mid to late season I go with the semi-strut jake.

Hmm. Interesting the number of people that picked jakes. I used to use jakes, and had several gobblers come in to kick their butts, only to meet their fate. But when the strutters came out, I switched to BMobile with a real fan, and have had good success with him. By mid season I put BMobile away though, and switch to either a jake and hens, or hens only.

  Gotta say I've never tried the Strutters, Jake works so well never needed too. Easier to carry as well.

Last year, I hunted  a specific gobbler 5 different times. He would never come into range with the DSD jake and hen. I even tried extra hen decoys. Tried it without the jake..same outcome.

A modified B-Mobile was his undoing.
