Deer Decoys ... Do They Work?
I am thinking of purchasing a deer decoy ... I hunt Alabama and Tennessee ..have any of you guys used them and what is your opinion as to how effective they are and what kind do you use?

I have had good results during the rut. I'll place it out, and pour a little doe-in-heat on it. Some bucks are really intersted in it. I just use my 3D archery target and take the antlers off so it looks like a doe. I'm not willing to spend another chunk of change just for a decoy, I just use what I have. Good luck

I'm with Cardeer.. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but in that sense its somewhat like calling and using scent. So anything to add to your bag of tricks so as to harvest a nice buck is worth while. I mean you only need it to work once right?

I haven't any experience using them to lure deer, but I knowhere in Kansas the game wardens use them and they sure work to catch poachers! A friend agreed last year to let them put a decoy near an intersection of two gravel roads and it was shot at 3 times in the one night the did it. Thank goodness they caught them!
