[QUOTE="Redrifle14, post: 229538, member: 5289"] I've used a decoy for the past 10 years while bow hunting. Most of the deer I have killed have been decoyed in. I set it up 25 yards from me upwind and facing me (in a quartering to me position). I use the flambeau boss buck, but most decoys on the market are good. I spray buck urine all around it on the ground and grass when I set it up and on its back. (might be over kill, but whatever). The deer will nearly always circle in downwind, head on to the decoy. More often than not that sets up a 20 yard quartering away shot. I spray a lot of urine around to hold them by the decoy long enough for a shot. If they smell anything unnatural they bolt out of range pretty quickly. They don't always come in or approach down wind. Sometimes they'll see the decoy and hang up at 100 yards. Sometimes they're locked on a doe. You never know how any given deer will respond. I like the decoy because I feel like I can draw deer to me from a long ways away in open country. I've had deer see the decoy from 500 yards away in open ag fields and come right to me. It's like anything, the more you use it the more confidence you have in it. I also do the standard calling with it as well, (rattling, grunting, bleats). That's my set up. Hope that helped anyone who's thinking about purchasing one.
