| 0:00.0 | Yeah, and I also want to talk about a hidden placement. I tend to have my hands |
| 0:08.1 | facing the opposite direction of where I think the the turkeys or the gobbler is going to come from. The reason I like that is I want as many of my decoys |
| 0:20.5 | facing me so that an incoming turkey sees a path of direction and |
| 0:26.5 | and knows that those birds are looking towards me and |
| 0:31.3 | oftentimes pretty close to me and if they're all if my decoys are looking in my direction |
| 0:39.2 | the incoming bird knows that they have that direction covered visually and they'll tend to come in a little more aggressively because they |
| 0:49.5 | one are kind of slipping in the back door but two they know that if there was a problem in front of these birds they would actually be turning around and facing back the other direction. |
| 1:01.9 | Just curious your thoughts on the direction of the remaining hindi coils if you put any preference to that |
| 1:09.9 | but that's something I've always tried to do is get the hens facing the hunter |
| 1:15.6 | because it may not make a big difference but I feel like an incoming bird is going to realize that hey everything's cool those feeding hen decoys heads are down. The one |
| 1:27.7 | hen with her head up is looking in the direction and she's not showing any posture of you know there's a problem and they come in |
| 1:36.3 | you know hotter if you will. I like it and I take it even one step further now if I'm in it if I'm set up in a spot where I know the |
| 1:45.6 | birds usually kind of linger and hang out for a while. I might just have their head directions just kind of more scattered but I |
| 1:57.1 | agree with you because I just remember when I was just talking about having late season just having hens |
| 2:04.5 | and having a couple feeders y'all have one like maybe upright and then a couple feeders. I will have feeders pointing in a |
| 2:11.7 | single-year direction away from where I think the bird is coming from and I wasn't even thinking about it from |
| 2:19.1 | standpoint of safety. I was thinking of it from a standpoint of I want that other turkey to believe that those |
| 2:26.9 | hens already have a direction in mind and it's not in the direction of that goblet. They're moving away from him. |
| 2:35.6 | Oh I love that. I love that. So he's going to look up see it and be like oh they're going the other way. |
| 2:41.8 | I got to get around them. Yes I've got to catch up. They're feeding. They're moving in this |
| 2:49.0 | direction so you know let's just say left and right so me the hunter is facing forward. The gobbler is |
| 2:57.0 | off to my left and I know I need to put my decoys out if I know that I'm just on edge of a field and |
