Well I took the Boss hunting yesteday.
 

But I didn't get a chance to see the reaction of any deer. I'm talking about the Boss Decoy.



I was so hoping the bear that I have seen 3 times now would have come around. I would have loved to have filmed that sequence. Alas, no deer came out to investigate him so at dark I got down, disassembled him and laid him in the high grasses so I don't have to carry him in or out. (Don't worry, he's invisible) I'll just stand and assemble him as needed. Look for video footage to come with him in it in the next 2 weeks.

Looking forward to It.

Rob, I'm sure something will transpire in the next 2 weeks. You seem to be lucky like that.;):D

RE: Well I took the Boss hunting yesteday.
 

I think you should make it a "Rob Buck".

RE: Well I took the Boss hunting yesteday.
 

Can't wait to see some video of it :D

On my trip to IL last year, my friend was hunting this woodlot and kept seeing bucks cruising the cut corn, scent checking apparently (out like 200-300yds). So atlunch oneday he says "man I wish I had a buck decoy, I bet one of em would come to it". I said "there's an old mckenzie bow target in the garage". We went out and got it and he strapped it to his 4wheeler and away he went. When I got back that evening from hunting, low and behold there is a 130" 9pt hanging. He set it up, got in his spot and an hour before dark along comes the buck. It saw the deke from about 250yds across the corn....and made a beeline - running. Whack, 19yds. LOL, nothing like a plan coming together!

BTW...it was one of the old targets...probably 15yrs old (with the small 6pt rack) and all shot to heck. Still worked, I guess when its right, its right.

Rob....your buck is bigger than the ones I'm hunting...they'd run from him! [8D] Good luck!

LOL that's what everyone keeps saying. :D

The Boss stands at 41". They(?) claim a mature buck stands at 42" This rack is a 120"er. ;)

I borrowed a decoy from a friend today (no luck). He showed me how to put it together yesterday and man was that noisy. So I decided just to carry it in already assembled and came to the conclusion that it would be well worth hiding that in the woods if you knew where you were going to use it. Not heavy, but just awkward. Well, I guess after a 1/4 mile it did get heavy.

I don't think its his height that makes him so imposing, I think its his girth.:D

RE: Well I took the Boss hunting yesteday.
 

Did ya score him [8D]:D:D

No wonder the bear did not come out, Heck I would be scared to get down and take it apart. [8D]

RE: Well I took the Boss hunting yesteday.
 

I'm very much looking forward to your upcoming videos. Hell, that may be the only buck you see this year if he lives up to his expectations.:D

RE: Well I took the Boss hunting yesteday.
 

Rob, that is an amazing decoy. Got a firsthand look at one last week in a store. Great looking decoy.

RE: Well I took the Boss hunting yesteday.
 

I'm looking forward to my next sit tomorrow night with it standing in front of me. Really might be interesting as the season progresses.

RE: Well I took the Boss hunting yesteday.
 

do you face it towards you or away from you?

RE: Well I took the Boss hunting yesteday.
 

I had him on a field access road broadside to me so he was visible in both directions that the deer "should" come from. Each set dictates the situation. I understand and correct me if I'm wrong, normally a buck will approach it head on so I set it to offer me the best chance at a shot. I took a picture of him with my GL2 at that sit when I get home, I'll post it.

RE: Well I took the Boss hunting yesteday.
 

I'm looking forward to the videos as well....I'm really interestedto seethe reaction of the deer with that bad boy.

RE: Well I took the Boss hunting yesteday.
 

Actually a good idea.

RE: Well I took the Boss hunting yesteday.
 

He's a little guy[8D];)
