Guest bronco_mudder Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I used a Montana doe decoy last year, the first season I've ever tried a decoy. I had it set up about 30 yards directly down wind of me, not really expecting a deer to walk right up to it. Well to my surprise a 5x5 120" class buck walked straight to it, grunting steady as he walked, and didn't pay any attention to me, or my scent. At least until I let go with my 7mm mag. The last thing that went through my mind before I shot was "I can't beleive he just walked infront of me like that" LOL! I was so impressed I went out and bought another one.

Guest kscumminsdriver Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Re: Deer Decoys I've used my 3-D bow target as a decoy before. Shot a 120" 8-point that was completely fixated on the decoy. I've also had deer skirt the decoy and go by me out of bow range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billkay Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Re: Deer Decoys I use the Renzos. Have had the full bodied ones in the past and it was way too much effort to get it out there. I can set up a small herd with the Renzos if I so desire, and never have to worry about the weight or bulk. Every deer will react differently. Some ignore it, some head straight for, some, especially does, will bolt instantly. I add a small piece of white faux fur to the tal and an ear or two of each of my dekes for movement. Have fewer problems with does bolting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missed160 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Re: Deer Decoys I use a Flambou Redi Doe.. Love it.. I haven't had deer spook from it. I have shot a doe & a buck that walked directly to it. I don't use it all the time, but I really like using one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdeerhunter03 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Re: Deer Decoys I use a mojo guide series, its unbelieveable! The bucks of all ages come looking for the bucks fighting when I rattle, and they come to kick his tail when they see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
