Guest Andrea Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Never used one. Some friends of mine put a doe decoy out but the deer just ignored it really. Guess there's nothin like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Re: Using buck or doe decoys I used one last year (doe) for the first time,it was in the rut and I had a real nice 8 point leave his hot doe to come to it...I was also useing scent and a bleet call.anyway I got it all on film he came right up to her and touched noses with her....it was great he stayed around for about 1 and 1/2 hours....so to answer your question YES they do work.

billkay Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Re: Using buck or doe decoys I use the 2-D Renzos which makes bringing several of them out to the stand a breeze, Every deer will react to them differently. The usual plan in the open is to place it where it can be seen a long way off. In tight quarters, I keep it less obvious so that when a deer does see it, he is already in a shooting lane. It will freeze him for a moment allowing you to draw and shoot while his total attention is focussed on the deke. Which deke, buck/doe, and how many is determined by the time of the year. A couple of bucks together will work great early season as a bachelor group. A bedded doe wiht a tending buck is the best set-up for rut, etc...
