Decoys

A.Gun

How many of you guys hunt with deer decoys in the season? where we hunt there is a few acre field perfect for bow hunting. It resembles a food plot and it's always tore up with tracks every time we visit! Oh yeah, did I mention in the edge of this field is where crosshair nailed his deer? We were thinking (before the season) of putting a doe decoy in the field, easily seen to a deer up to 200 yards away. We never go it out though, and it's sorta risky putting one out in gun season considering the other hunters on the land. There aren't many hunter but it only takes one. I'd like to know how many people have had success in bow season with a decoy.

Suspension

I never tried it, but I have three friends that have tried it. Everyone of them said it's a waste of money and it doesn't work. It seems to me that you would want the decoy in a position to make deer walk by you to get to the decoy. All three of these guys didn't have that setup and the deer that did come in spooked, so I wouldn't rule out decoys until I actually try it.

It's not legal to hunt deer from a boat here in Ohio, until someone told me and my buddies that last year we always did it during muzzleloader season. [:D] It is very very fine print in our manual. [;)]
