RE: 3D Target as Decoy
I have never used my target as a decoy, due to its weight and being cumbersome to carry. I puchased a collapsable one for use in the field.
BUT! It will work. If you're willing to carry it.
About 3 years ago I woke one morning to find my buck target in 4 pieces all over the yard. Apparnetly overnight a buck had decided to pick a fight w/ my target and tore it to shreds...
It will work best during the pre-rut and peak rut phases.
