Who has or is using deer decoys and did or does it work. Any sugestions just curious if should use it as a doe or buck in the feeder pen or out. or would be best setup on or near trails little ways back in woods coming into the feeder. I ask this being i just bought one off another thf memeber being the price was right and worth a try.

Put a pick hat on her and Tinks 69 on the but and watch the magic.

I used my archery target buck and put him in an open spot on my lease. On my first first try ever at rattling, and very first time using a decoy, I rattled an 8pt up buck in probably 90 seconds. He came within 5-10ft of the decoy, circled him, then took off. It was the coolest thing ever.

I used a cardboard doe and it scared the deer away. Never tried again.

I once had a plastic 'feeding' doe. It scared deer off, cows loved it. Threw it away after they chewed the ears off.

I have an archer target with the antlers removed and used it with mixed results. I think it suckers deer into coming out into food plots and open areas. They don't seem as spooky when they see another deer looking thing. However, I have never had a buck come out and investigate it during the rut.

Same thing for me, have my archery target in my front yard and i have had a 4pt buck [not legal] come in twice now and circle it and feed awhile then leave. Fun to watch but frustrating when its not legal.

sane here, mice got it, too much trouble for what I got out of it

I never used one but one of the guys I hunt with used one and he put some doe estrus on it, and had a small buck come in and circle around several times and sniff it, and continue feeding within just a few feet of the decoy.

He actually had to run the deer off because it wouldn't leave.

It was really funny to hear him tell the story.
