This is the first year using a decoy. I bought a Flambeau Redi-Doe. Very life like in all respects. Coloring is more a October brown then the Carry-lite decoy. Carry-lite is alittle more red/orange like early season deer. Anyway, I used it bowhunting 3 times and I must say it was unbelievable! The first time had does come right in as soon as they spotted it from 60 yards away. Then a monster camed right in later. It walked in and rammed the decoy. the next day I hunted it again, I had 9 deer walk within 5 yards of it ( 3 being bucks ) it didn't scare any. The last time I used it once again it pulled deer right to me! I had 6 shot opportunities on does that time. I really wish I would have tried it earlier. I think you can over use it to. This was all bowhunting, I would never use it gun hunting.

Good Luck!
