RE: Does anyone use decoys during rifle season?
Dan O, use it. First of all 500 yards and posted land, then add cattle in...just can't see it being poked at. Are you planning on setting it out in the middle? I have used decoys, they do work. I would set it up in the shadowed side of the field(if possible), near the bush back off and maybe swamp buck will come. Do you have a draw or funnel, you know a natural route the deer follow in and out. Cuz come rut that buck will be in that region and well they love draws and funnels anyway. Even back it off in the woods and set up with the wind right.
