I was thinking of gettinghuman decoy's and put conservation agent clothes on it and maybe a conservation sticker on the side of my truck to keep pouchers and trespassers off my land. Wonder if there is a law against that? Just a thought!Would be kind of funny to watch people though.Probebly a bad idea, some ___would shoot my truck!

Neat idea... 'course, I guess you'd have to check into the feasability of using their logos and all that stuff.

Interesting.....

I always wondered about making up poacher decoys. A manaqin dressing up in camo with a fake rifle, "hidden" in the bushes by the side of the road, near to one of the Game Commission offices, with a sign taped to the back saying "hope I didn't interupt your coffee break, but you needed the exercise" or something similar. Preferabley set up in the middle of a fresh spread of manure.

I use to make a dummy out of leaves and fully camo it in old camo i had and leave it sit in my deer standall fall. And then when I would hunt i would hide it by the tree and sit in its place and hope that the deer would get use to it being there.

Believe itor not I killed deer like that and it seemed to work!!!!! I need to start doing that again i guess. LOL

You guys ever heard of someone doing that?

I have seen state police leave a cruser in a turn around on the interstate and have a hat and head sticking up to look like a trooper

I think it would be getting pretty close to impersonation of a peace officer. Pretty serious offense in some states.

I wonder.....
"You" aren't doing it, it's only a dummy.
You can wear a cop outfit for Halloween or a costume party, (or if you are a "dancer") as long as your costume isn't a perfect replica AND youdon't try to pass yourself off as one. But since it is a maniquin it isn't even a person, it's kind of like a cardboard cutout of a cop.
(like the full size plywood "cars" that some cities use for decoys)

Yep, I remember when some of the hunting catalogs used to sell dummies just for that purpose...

not a bad idea as long as you dont get into trouble......living in the gray area is always worth a try, lol........
