The timing of this post couldn't be any better. Just this weekend I was thinking about putting out a decoy in front of a ground blind I just started hunting but I was worried that one of the ya-hoo's in the area I hunt would try and take a shot at it. (these guys consistently try 50 yard hail mary shots at deer in the fields)

Anyway, if I were in a tree I wouldn't be worried but being 15 to 20 yards from a decoy on the ground can be a dangerous thing. Your thread just further convinced me to not try it. There's not a deer out there that's worth the risk.

Can you imagine the look on that guy's face when his arrow bounced off his &quot;deer&quot;?<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

Flip, I'd worry even in a tree...ever see an arrow hit a limb and go skyrocketing....I can just picture one careening off of the dec's back and sticking me in the forehead....

Geez Louise!! The only deer I have ever seen that remained motionless for that long was either bedded down or dead.<img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>

BrianDamage - I grew up in Somerville and I sometimes miss hunting the refuge and some farms there, it's definitely Gods' country.



Shoot often - Hunt always

At least he didn't try to claim and tag it!!!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Good point cyclone. Maybe I will bring sheets of plexiglass to hide behind. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Funny, yet not funny! At least he didn't take another shot. I guess it just goes to show us all that even a bowhunter can be a bone head!

Brian, Good thing he did not see it as you carried it out. That could have been tragic.

I laughed when I saw the title, but that dude is just plain stupid and Dangerous. Was he shaking with buck fever when he came in to claim his trophy...<img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle> Sorry, i am still laughing, just hard to believe anybody could be that dumb.

The best of luck in all your hunting endeavors!!!

God Bless,
Dave
