I have one. Bought it last year. I haven't used it that much, but.....

Pro's:
-the "fur" makes it look pretty realistic in the field
-it's fairly quiet putting together due to the "fur"
-the wind causes head and tail movement
-two sets of different size antlers, the small ones seem to work better in attracting all bucks.

Con's:
-the fabric is starting to pull away from the plastic shell near the edges which will only get worse the more and more I pack it.
-it's not easy to pack everything back into the the body shell much less just the legs and head.
-it's pretty heavy due to the weights that screw on the head for the movement.
-not crazy about the steel rod in the middle of it's belly that anchors it to the ground (probably doesn't matter, I just don't like the look of it).

I was sold on the "fur" when I got it. It just looked very realistic. If I had it to do all over again, I would probably buy the "Boss" Buck from Flambeau.
