Easykeeper, All the decoys are the same on each side except the Mr T turkey.
As for how they react, I've found southeastern whitetails to be the most jumpy. I try to handle that by putting the decoy in such a manner that if a buck gets directly in front or behind I will have had a shot. I use terrain and brush to insure they see the decoy from a distance but limit the exposure to it perpendicularly. It is an inexact science and sometimes I will use two decoys facing different directions. Fortunately ours fold up enough and are so light that I can carry as many as I want without much trouble.
And I've learned the hard way to set it up close to me since I switched to trad gear. I cheated on that in KS this past fall and had a beautiful buck circle my set just out of range. The decoys (I had a buck and a doe) pulled him in but he wasn't sure about them and hung up just out of range. To add insult to injury I stepped on a skunk on the way out and jumped back only to fall/roll down the hill slinging decoys, bows, leg poles and backpack everywhere. Looked like a Cabelas exploded. But I didn't get sprayed.
Just like grunt calls and rattling, decoys don't work every time but when they do it is way cool. We've got some footage of a Muley buck trying to mount one so the 2D part didn't slow him down much!
Working hard to keep the decoy scent free is another big plus.
