As far as the strutted decoy goes, I think sometimes they don't want to fight another big boy, they'd rather go play with their hens. Jakes on the other hand have no fear and will come in for the fight any day. Jmo

Hens, jakes, strutters, depends on the situation as to which combo I use. Yes, I have had strutter dekes intimidate gobblers, and jakes. But I've also had jake dekes intimidate gobblers, and jakes. I've also had gobblers stand out of range eying a hen deke, and refusing to come in. However, I've also had some super exciting hunts with a strutting deke, and I've had gobblers leave their hens and run in to battle my strutting deke. To sum it up, dekes can be good, and dekes can be bad. Depends on the situtation and the bird. I wouldn't give up on your strutting deke, if you do you'll miss out on a lot of fun! Just know that you will always run the risk of scaring off a subordinate gobbler. Also, I always put my strutter away for the year about halfway through the season.Good luck!
