RE: Who uses decoys?
 

The only time I ever used a decoy it cost me a pope and I retired it that day. The 3 mature does he was trailing RIGHT to my stand immediately went on alert when they they spotted the decoy. They started acting squirrely and that big ole bruiser locked up and walked out of my life..

Exactly GMMAT, would rather have had the does at least enter the field. This instance was late in the year, if used this year it will be early in the season.

This is a great decoy. Bought one and used it for the first time last year. I didn't have much luck with it, but did have some younger bucks come in to check it out. My dad used it a couple times last year with great sucess. He ended up taking his 07 10pt while using it. The buck came in all bristled up, ears layed back ready to kick it's ass. A 15yrd shot with a 100gr muzzy ended that!;)I'll definatley use it again this year.
Here's a pic.

Rob, I used this decoy 3 times last year in about a 15 acre field. I am not exaggerating, every single buck that could see that decoy came to it with ears laid back. I killed my late rut buck using it. I have used the carry-lite for years and had good luck with it but this decoy really worked well for me. It is a little pricey but for me it wasabsolutely worth it!

I thought the same thing before I used it. I had little bucks doing circles around with their ears laid back. If it's the right time of year those bucks go crazy of this thing.

How do you guys haul them in/out of the woods? Do they come with a duffle bag? I'm not sure if I am set up in areas that would work well for dekes. I'm hunting very thick honeysuckle/grapevine/briar thickets this year....I think once I actually see the deer, it will already be in range or close.

Also, a nice thing about is that it packs up nice and easy and is not a pain to put back together. Under 2 min. to unpack and put together. Also, the decoy has little hooks on the insides of the back legs to hang whatever scents you choose to use. I usually just sprayed the decoy down with a non scent cover spray and hung a scent bomb or those white wicks with dominant buck urine.

All of the legs, tail, head and antlers store inside the body cavity. It comes with a orange strap that connects to the body for easy carrying.

Rob, are there any bucks in PA that wouldn't feel intimidated by this decoy haha....hope you are using it in the midwest or somewhere other than PA, because from what I hear from other hunters in PA is they don't have too many deer even this decoy'ssize!!

I use a carry-lite buck and love the results, lots of attention from deer, no big success stories yet buy only had the decoy for one season and anxious to put it back to work this fall!! My fiance would have likely killed a big wall hanger had we had it one evening, as we had a buck committ to calling to 55 yards but then wouldn't come any closer.....needed that decoy!!! Good luck!

Rob

You should put his antlers on backwards and see if you can lure in a "Rob" buck.:D
