hen decoy placement

[OHhunter]

I always use a single hen usually facing away from where I expect him to come, that way it looks like she not interested.  They usually come at a running strut right to it or almost to it, if everything goes well he fall just short.

Ain't that the coolest sight in the woods?

OHhunter..that sounds really good but with my luck he'll always come the way I think he won't..I say put it out there and if he's hot he's going to come ..After all if he's close to the decoy it should be checkmate for him....

I did say usually, I've had several that circled round and came in from the oppisite direction that didn't have a chance to see the decoy and there's always that one bird that will come in directly behind you, no matter how you set up. 
 
The more I think about it maybe I should have said "sometimes they come running" instead of "usually" in my original post, I can remember several birds that haven't done what I thought they should.

Only thing better is when you have two doing it.
