This year I forked out 100 bucks for the flambue decoy and had no luck. I had some bucks see it and come close but just out of bow range. I almost put it up on ebay but then I ran into a guy at the local store and we just started talking about them. He told me and I think he is right that I used it to much at the begining of the season and they got wise. He said only use it when rut is starting to peak and bucks have their guard down. He said they just got wise on me before they got horny. So its in the shed and I will give it a try next year.
