The small pronghorn buck decoy does work to get their attention and curiosity but it is obviously only for bow hunting. I have used one before the season opens just for a bit of fun and a bit during the bow season. I believe the maker of the one I have is Montana Decoy. They are like the sail on a boat and are a real pain to use when the wind is blowing. It takes one guy using both hands to hold the decoy during the stalk. Although I have had a couple of curious small bucks come closer for a good look, I doubt that the decoy does much to attract most pronghorns. It does seem to hold them in place for a while and allows for some movement behind the decoy for the hunter.
