Thanks for the help guys, Reid: In the article I was reading they said the red heads on a decoy simulated a dominent mating Tom. Your right that jakes have red heads, but they are nearly as red as a mature Tom. The theory is that a nearby Tom might see the red head and come in for a fight. Kinda like rattling in a deer. In the article they said they had used this method to bring in several mature toms.
