I'm planning on going out a couple of times this week and was wondering if it's too early to setup a buck decoy and do a little rattling.
This will be my first attempt at this setup.

Might be a bit early yet. I would think this next midwest cold snap might make it good for the up coming weekend. This is just my opinion though, but the bucks have been unresponsive to any calling thus far, even when I see them 100-150 yards away. They kind of just look and then continue doing thier own thing.

If you are going to use one, be sure to set up on the property next to where I am hunting. I can always use more deer on my property. It has been my experience that there are far more negative responses to decoys than positive.
