RE: do decoys work for deer???
I've got the same deke buckeye's got above (the Carry-Lite), and set mine up slightly quartering to me... for the same reason: bucks will circle around to get in front of a rival buck.
Bullet Hole, I've seen lots and lots of commentary saying that dekes set up as does will spook other does, but if it's set up as a buck they'll ignore it. Because of that, I've never even set mine up as a doe.
