They sure do work. Look at this BRUTE who came into the decoy this fall . The doe and fawn ignored it but this little guy (button buck) actually postured at the decoy for a couple minutes. It was fairly amusing to watch thefawn buckact like atuff guy [8D]

Nice setup....... Can I hunt that spot when you get bored with it?

Here is a couple other photos from that spot. I only hunted it twice this past year.

I have a carry lite and I agree with most statements regarding set up using it as a buck vs. doe. I haven't used it a lot as I just purchased it this year.

I have a flambeau redi doe and I mounted antlers on it from an old 3d deer target. I have had some good success with it. When used stricktly as a doe I have had a lot of does spook at it. I plan on getting the buckwing bobble head buck this year and maybe bed the doe down beside him 5 yds away by taking off her legs.
HCH-

I remember you posting a while back regarding the Buckwing bobble head buck and did some research and have yet to see one. The picture you posted a while back discussing that was actually a carry lite decoy that was assembled incorrectly. Have you heard any other information on the bobble head buck as I would be interested in seeing one and there isn't any information on their website?

We have been using them alot for the last couple years. Theres a book out called "Decoying Whitetails" by Tom Storm. This is a excellent book with great insight and tips. They also have a video and its got some great footage but the book is much more detailed.

We use our deoys with antlers. This year we had bucks come in and actually knock the decoy down.Very exciting..............
