I am planning on using a 3d target decoy this year, first I have to fix it because the legs are all torn off. Its gonna through a hard life.

If I did a buck I would only use one antler take one off so it doesn't scare off the smaller bucks. I wouldn't have the buck facing you because then the other deer might think something is going on. I dont think it really matters to much about which way they are facing just dont face them towards you.

This year im gonna try the half rack during the late season then do a doe during the rut and nothing in the beginning.

I think I might try and spray some of the tinks #1 Doe-P Deer lure on the doe or on the ground around the doe and then call in a buck if possbile.
