I've also been looking into getting a deer decoy. I was just wondering what everyone here uses.I like the way the Carry-Lite Deer Decoy looksso far.
I have the carry-lite as well. I used it maybe 4 timesthis year but only saw does yearling bucks and a 115 class 2 1/2 year old. It was still pre-rut when I was using it. It got all of their attention and pulled all of them in (within 30 yards)except for a small 6 point who seemed intimidated.
My brother used my decoy and shot a nice 2 1/2 year old who postured all the way in. The buck walked in "sideways" stiff legged ears layed back with all his neck hair standing straight up. He shot the buck about 3 feet from the decoy. The pass through shot just missed the leg of my decoy too[8D]
Here is a pic of the a decoy setup I used.
I have an APA Twister Safari SL on my Patriot and really like it. But I will definitely watch that pin. Have to say I am surprised that it would snap though.
It didn't actually snap. It just fell, or flungout after the shot.
