Somewhere in between. I shoot the does for meat and usually wait on a good buck, but I do get impatient at times. I primarily hunt from tree stand, but I will track if the conditions are just right.
I've used the Montana saw blade style decoys and carry lite redi doe in the past. They didn't seem to spook the deer at all. But I wouldn't say it attracted them either. The only real benefit I saw was that it didn't distract the deer at times. Giving a good draw/shot opportunities.
