I bought one to use this year. Hopefully in a couple of months I will be able to tell you they work great. Good luck this season!

funny story. i used one last year just messin around. it was an 8pt decoy that i set in the middle of a food plot. about 30min. before dark a small 4pt came out and absolutely tore it up. i wish i would've had a video camera.

Well, Did you get the deer?

I had the same question. I have been thinking about getting one, but wondered how useful they are. I have seen one which is hollow inside so you can store the legs, head, and antlers inside for transport. That seems pretty slick.
If anybody has any experience, let's hear it. What brands are functional, useful, and easy to carry in and set up?

I use a Carry-lite. I love it. Had good sucess with it. I think the visual is a must. I have called in good bucks without the decoy and they won't always commit.

Haven't really tried using decoys much. There is a good artical in the bowhunters magazine, whitetail special 2007. The artical is called "Decoy Delemma" page 34, by Dana Coldren. He goes into pretty good detail on 3-d and 2-D decoys.Hehas been experimenting with all kinds and goes into pretty good detail of how it's worked for him. If you can get a copy and check it out may answer some of your questions. After reading it I may give it a try. Good luck!
