This isn't as bad an idea as you guys make it sound.

Now for bowhunting mature deer out of the rut it is probably stupid b/c most of those deer are
killed on new setups and draggin that in there would do more harm than good, but for your
regular gun hunter looking to kill it might help on an old stand location.

I know a guy that rifle hunts out of box stands who hangs an empty gallon milk jug from a string inside.
He says the deer get used to having something there and the movement it and it helps a lot.

Now, even though this is not a completely stupid concept, I wouldn't buy one.
