Default Dummy's in treestands in offseason????

Anyone do this? - puta person dummy in their trestands in the offseason?

I've heard about people doning it, never thought I'd try it - but I'm curious if others do? Do you think it really makes a difference?

I've heard about it...never known anybody to actually do it.



I do see a lot of dummies DURING the season in tree stands though, does that count (oh, the joys of public land)

I've been thinking about doing it for the gun season, to keep TRESPASSERS off of my property when I am not hunting that area.

Generally there is a dummy in my treestand while I'm there, and he looks a lot like me. [8D]

I've never done it, but when we baited black bears, years ago, my brother did it on his bait site. Of the four hunters he then was the only hunter to actually have ravens fly in and sit on the bait. The rest of us would see ravens fly over like they were interested, but they wouldn't land. So it at least fooled the ravens. He didn't get a bear off that bait, but he switched to my baitafter I'd scored.
