RE: how many of you use deer decoys?
i agree its a pain to get the decoy out to the area and here in new jersey you have to cover it in orange which i agree but is also a pain. as far as set up its just like turkey hunting with a partner you want the caller a ways behind you. with the decoy you want to be on the path to it. thats why i set up 70 yards from it in an open field.in the winter bow season it overlaps with the muzzleloader season so you have to be careful.one time i hunted a field with a muzzleloader hunter in it and i used the decoy. we set up ground rules as to if the deer come out of a certain part of the field one would be givin first chance. he loved my decoy but we didnt see anything that day.
