hoytman62 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I was told that you can put a Manacan dressed like a hunter before deer season and they would get used to it and make it easier for the hunter when deer season does come in.. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 The easiest thing to do is not move so much:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I have read that has been done before, seems like a lot of work, and how do you not know it wont educate a smart old buck to stay away from that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Could it help...maybe but I won't ever go through the trouble of doing that. I'm betting those that say it makes it easier for deer to get used to it are those that are doing it. I wonder just how much noise & disturbance someone makes that's doing that when they switch out the dummy for hunt. Also, what do they do with it when they hunt? Like Pat said...easiest thing to do is not move. If I get picked off in a stand it's because I moved...not because deer see me motionless. Many times I've had deer look at me and if I didn't move, they would relax & go about whatever they were doing. Another key there is having decent cover for your stand and/or a nice size tree to blend in with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yes it helps, but you put it on the riding mower in the yard any then sneak off to the camp. Gotta change positions in the yard from time to time or your wife will catch on though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
