In my experience he will always face the decoy. After they walk around it, they might get downwind but by then it's too late, they should already be shot. I haven't had any wind the decoy either, i spray the decoy down really good with Ghost spray and set it up so I get a quartering away shot or broadside. They seem to focus so hard on the decoy they don't really notice anything else. Hope this helps. The decoy you will be using is tested and proven. LOL!!
