target/decoy suggestion?
 
I'm in the market for a decoy that I can also use as a shooting target. Iwant something that is bigger than the ones I've been seeing guys use at the range which is about the size of a 5 month old doe fawn.

I want it light as possible so I can carry it up to a mile or so if I have to. The antlers also have to be detachable. What would you suggest?

To buy one of each.:D

JK. Im sure its doable but the more you shoot the less than things looks real. I really like the looks of that carry light buck decoy, but Ive never hunted over a decoy....so this is just speculation.

It'd be nice to have one of each but I'd rather simply have one that can do both jobs. I figure the 3-d target can just as well be used as a decoy because deer don't have that good of vision anyway to pick out detail. Afterall, carboard cut-outs have been known to work so why wouldn't a 3-d target right?

Again, I want something that's relatively realistic looking, lightweight, detachable antlers,and at least the size of a 150 lb deer.

Any suggestions?
