0:00.0 | Yeah, and I also want to talk about hen placement. I tend to have my hens facing the opposite direction of where I think the turkeys or the gobleer is going to come from. The reason I like that is I want as many of my decoys facing me so that an incoming turkey sees a path of direction and knows that those |
0:27.6 | birds are looking towards me and oftentimes pretty close to me and if they're all if my decoys are looking in my |
0:37.6 | direction the incoming bird knows that they have that direction covered visually and they'll tend to come in |
0:46.6 | a little more aggressively because they, one, are kind of slipping in the back door but two they know that if there was a problem in |

1:50.1 | head directions just kind of more scattered but I agree with you because I just |
1:58.8 | remember when I was just talking about having late season just having tens and having a couple |
2:05.3 | feeders, you know, I have one like maybe upright and then a couple feeders. I will have the feeders |
2:09.5 | pointing in a single direction away from where I think the bird is coming from and I wasn't even |
2:18.0 | thinking about it from a standpoint of safety. I was thinking of it from a standpoint of |
