RE: scents whith decoys
I've used a painted up McKenzie 3D target as a decoy. ( DOE)
We drilled a large hole in the rear ( No laughing ) and inserted a 35mm film canister. We filled the canister with cotton and some doe-in-heat scent.
When not in use, just snap on the lid.
My father and I have both taken bucks with this home made decoy.
That was years ago. It was too heavy and awkward getting in the woods.
