Default Urgently Need help! Deer feeder vs Decoy?

Hey guys, I am looking into getting either a Deer feeder or a Doe Decoy.

In your humble opinion, What is a better choice and why?

So what was so urgent? Deer feeder, decoys can work depends on how you use it but leaving it out all day and night like a feeder will only let the deer get used to it and not entice the deers curiosity towards it. So that leaves hauling it to and fro unless you use a 2D one. Feeders can be set to a timer and attract deer year round.

The better choice in your situation is to spend much time learning your game. The knowledge gained will be of much more value than shortcut gadgets. That's my 2.5 cents worth.

I think a feeder would attract real-life decoys. We can't bait in PA so the only time I use bait is for viewing or getting trail cam pics in the summer. We have to remove all bait a month before the season starts.
