You have your answer. The problem with getting two is that you'll want 3 and then 4! Ha!

Jake and upright hen for sure! It's been 3-4 years since I've heard a gobble, need to change that this spring. Best of luck!

Best thing about the upright hen is you can use it alone with a jake upright or on the ground in front of the jake like a breeder hen that one can be dynamite !

I've had great luck with just the upright and feeder hen.

Our local Game Warden swears by using only a jake

Like others have said ... the Jake and the Upright Hen ... if you can only buy two.
I have every decoy they make, and multiple in various poses. They all work, but the jake/upright combination is deadly and the best place to start.

Scott, they rarely go on sale. Your best bet to save a few $$ is to buy them when you find a "site wide" discount type offer or if a local retailer like Scheels or other store has them on sale. I bought my feeder hen last year around this time for decent savings from our local Scheels store.

A good friend of mine just got one in the bargain cave at Cabelas (used once for decoration) paid $80 for it. Told him that I would have bought it if he was not going to.

The jake works awesome. I wouldn't be without my Tom Stutter though..you can attach an actual fan to him, and wings. I rigged mine up on a system where I can rotate him over 360 degrees, back and forth, using paracord. You want to get a hung up Tom to come in? Slowly spin Tommy Boy back and forth...the dominate Toms can stand it. For lesser Tom's 2-3yr olds, the Jake works great. If a guy had budget concerns, I would spend the money on DSD Jake and Tom, then buy cheaper hen decoys...they don't matter as much in posture and color, IMO.
