I think you should make it part of the fun of the hunt for you. Set out a spread like a duck hunter if you want and give it a try! As to what’s most effective, that is situational. A dominant gobbler or multiple 3 year olds traveling together will run all the way across a hundred acre field at the site of a strutting decoy sometimes. I have also hunted certain years in certain places where the gobblers were so scared of mobs of jakes that you dare not use a Jake decoy. I applaud your resolve to hunt in spite of your challenges, and I pray that you will be rewarded with an excellent season.
