Now, I've been to NY 4x and have passed on jakes but never had a chance on a mature tom. Due to my 4 previous failures, I know I'm overthinking things and picked up a hen decoy (Avian X - I know, taking my chances but they look better than anything else I can impulse buy locally. lol). I've had great luck at home with my Dakota half-strut jake but was wondering how the pressured NY toms might react to an aggressive jake in late season. What do y'all think - jake, hen.. both... neither? Keep in mind, my max range is 20 yards and I prefer 10-15 yards so having a tom drift close to me is not good enough, I need to be well inside their bubble. There's never a right or wrong answer, but I felt like discussing it to see what comes out.
