MQ1, I used my McKenzie target as a decoy about 8yrs. ago. I was trying to get a large, wide 10pt. to come give me a look. I had been as careful as one can be about scent when I was preparing for the hunt and when I got to my spot. Early in the hunt I had the first drop tine buck I had ever seen come in with a doe. She was about 15 yds. ahead of him. As she got past me, I started focusing on him waiting for him to walk through the same shooting lane she had just passed through. I glanced over my shoulder to make sure she was still unaware of my presence, I looked just in time to watch her stop, notice the target, and then EXPLODE back in the direction they were coming from. She almost knocked the buck over trying to get out of there. Well, needless to say I thought my hunt was over, so I sat down and waited for the end of shooting time. I didn't want to get down and ruin my buddies hunt, he was about 300 yds away from me. Right at last light I heard leaves crunching behind me, I slowly turned to see that big 10 I had been chasing walking right at my tree. I did not know which side he was going to pass on, so it was difficultto get ready. He ended up walking right to my tree, stopping at the base. I came to full draw and waited for him to turn broadsisde. He turned and started walking by me, just as I was placing my pin behind his shoulder, he noticed the target and spun around running back where he came from as fast as he could. Obviously I never used my target as a decoy again! I have used the Carry-Lite's with some success. It is very fun when everything works out while you areusing a decoy. If you can, take it to your hunting area the day before you plan to hunt, hide it, andspray it well with scent eliminator. Sneak in in the morning, set it up quietly, and enjoy your hunt. Sorry this was so long, but when I read that you were thinking about trying a target as a decoy, I had to tell you that story.
