Strange Sounds from the Turkey Decoy Spread

How close do you put your spring turkey decoy?

How close should you put your turkey decoy? Many people tend to over think how close or how far away you should place your turkey decoy.  They worry “the tom won’t see my turkey decoy if he comes from over here,” or  ”if I put it too close the tom will see me.”  Hopefully I [...]
