I've used my decoy several times and only had two encounters, both bad. The first was early fall, i was hunting the edge of a field and had the doe dec 30 yds out. A doe came out on the field, lost her mind, went in to the woods. Appeared right under my (downwind of the dec) and starting stomping and moving cautiously toward the dec. I tried to move to get a shot and made a slght noise and she bolted. She was WAY nervous because of that dec.

Second was I was on the edge of a bedding area, during pre rut, with a small buck dec in some brush. 3 does came down a trail, saw that dec and headed for the hills. They were coming right to me and w/o that dec I could have taken one.
