I carry mine in individual pillow cases inside the big bag, keeps them from rubbing together quite nicely.
but if I have to make a quick move
If I were to do it again, I would just buy the jake. That is all you really need. None of the birds even look at my hens, they go straight to the jake every time.

Be careful not to get in the habit of picking up the jake by the head. There was a weak spot behind the head near the neck that would pull apart a little. I think it was addressed but not sure. If I had to pick between the hen and the jake. It would be the jake all day long and twice on Thomas Allen's appetite.
One time I had two toms following a hen over three hundred yards away and closing to my location.
All I put was a hen decoy out.
When the hen was within a 100 yards and seen the decoy she sprinted to the hen and was all over her.
The toms liking the cat fight ran right on in.
I agree with just using the jake but the hen has came in handy many times for me also.
If I throw in another decoy like a buckwing they will not even look at it.
