RE: decoy
The archery coach I used to work with has a carry lite. He and my main hunting partner have both killed quite a few deer over it including several pretty good bucks. I used it last year a bit and had nothing but positive responses from deer, however I passed them and didn't have a chance to see a real slammer react to it. I do have quite a few spots where deer have the ability to see quite a distance where I hope a decoy would help draw them in. The one big food plot I have which is 125 yards long I hope to use a decoy on the one corner to hopefully draw deer in and position them within shooting distance.
