Does anyone use them? Bucks or does? And do they work? Thanks
Fish_Killer said:They work sometimes, depends on the time of season and situation. I had bucks cruising past my stand in early november, no amount of calling would get them to come close. Got down, went to the cabin, got an old 3D target, plunked it out infront of me...within 15 minutes i saw another buck walking by outta bow range, one doe bleat and he looked over and was on his way. i have not had luck with a buck decoy yet...but planning on using it more this year.
Would it work to leave it there or do you have to take it in and out with you?offshoreonly said:This is a good question, seen a whole whack of hunting videos where people have had sucess never given them a go myself, got enough stuff to drag into the bush lol.

I'm with offshore, it's amazing how much you drag out there. Bow, pack, heavy jacket for late evenings.
I left a decoy out in the bush, not standing as I broke it down and left it under a tree. On two occasions a bear came around and beat up on it.offshoreonly said:That is an idea just to leave it up. It would be interesting to keep a game camera pointed at it to see how deer react to it when your not around, may even get a reaction from predators.
They aren't cheap anywhere except after season in the U.S.JetsOrBust said:Anyone know of any good places to buy a decoy? They seem pretty pricey at Cabelas but maybe that's just what they go for.
