I reread my post to make sure I asked the correct question. I am pretty competent on killing deer, my question was on what decoys those who use decoys are preferred.
I am preparing for rut. during the previous two seasons, I watched bucks bolt towards does in the field edges only to move away from my stand locations. We have an abundance of food and travel routes. I said to myself last year on several occasions, " if I only had one of those does standing right here."
I would like a nice doe decoy to stick out in front of the stand for those post rut bucks that cant get enough. I have never hunted with a decoy but would like to give one a try. Any suggestions?
