RE: deer decoys
I shot the biggest doe I've ever taken with a pair of 2-D doe decoys last season, she really thought those carboard deer were real. I shot her as she began to circle downwind of them. The year before I almost got a nice buck who was scoping out a different 2-D doe deke I had set up during the rut, but he smelled a rat and took off before he got in range.
