[QUOTE="Lungdeflator, post: 229544, member: 5163"] I've used one, with limited success. Its not going to work every time, and in my case I end up second guessing my self if it doesn't work or scares deer away. I've gotten down 2 times and laid the decoy down. I use the primos scarface decoy with a piece of plastic bag on the tail to catch the wind. I've also had times where I really really wished I had a decoy out. Just never really know how the deer are going to react. But then there are times it does work and its awesome. I have only used a buck decoy, usually put it 30-35 yards away, quartering to me upwind. I think using a decoy is a whole package type thing, need to have the scent, sound, and visual. It seems weird, but I am going to try a decoy late september/early october this year. I've rattled in a few decent bucks during that time of year and both times were situations that if I had a decoy out, they would have fully committed and tag filled. I think its a time of year where bucks are staking out territories and dominance and there is quite a bit of sparring going on. [/QUOTE]
