Decoy and setup wisdom

Set up a decoy slightly back in the woods from a field for best results.

Mitchell Johnson feels that when hunting a field, too many hunters set up too close to its edge.

Try this approach: position decoys about 15 to 20 yards inside a fence line and a hunter another 20 yards or so back. Look for trees that lie in deep shade. The decoys should keep an approaching gobbler’s eyes from wandering too much. Once the tom steps inside the fence line, he will be within range.
