I have the same decoy and it didnt work that well at first in a bedded position. I rigged up some extra styrofoam I had lying around and put under neath the decoy body and used some copper pipe to get it off the ground about 12". I have had does and bucks come up to it . It has worked best as a doe for me but I cant tel you why. I have hunted over the decoy that looks like a picture of a deer with great results.
