Default 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.

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?
