I have tried different types of deer decoys (Featherflex bedded doe, Montana doe and Renzo buck. Most of the deer I have observed seem to lockup once they see the decoy. They seem to know something is wrong. While turkey hunting I have had deer come in to my decoys several times. Although a little skittish they seem much more comfortable and inquisitive about the turkey decoys. They will most often almost touch them. I think I am going to give them a try next time out. Has anyone tried them for deer? Also as far as deer decoys go. Do you find that buck decoys seem to work better than doe decoys?

I have never hunted with a deer decoy. While Turkey hunting though i have had deer walk right up to my turkey dekes. maybe its a confidence booster?

I've never had much luck with deer decoys. Big Momma does are especially not inclined to be friendly to such. I did (one time) arrow a young buck that was checking out a bedded doe I put out and laced with esterous scent. I'm thinking the turkey decoys may have somewhat of a calming effect and thus might be beneficial. It's worth a try. Good luck.
