What brand of decoy are you using? The hen decoy looks realistic.

It's a Rampart 52#, CX Heritage 250, 50 grain brass insert, 175 gr Grizzly broadhead.

Dave Smith Decoy. I thought they were a scam at first, but after hunting for the last 5 years and the birds hanging up outside of range I was convinced it was due to junk decoys. I'm sold on this decoys now.

Great job on the hunt and for sticking out for a few years. I'm really impressed with the quality of your pics and to be honest I thought all 3 hens were real till there was discussion about the decoys. I had to go back and check it out, she looks pretty dang real!!! Awesome
