good find hardcorehunter. I also stuff the redi doe in a duffle bag to haul in and out of the woods. You can also try the FeatherFlex bedded deer shell decoy. It can fold flight like a bed roll and be tied on a pack. I have had good responses to the featherflex decoy but the range is limited since the low profile of the bedded deer.

Don-

That sure looks like a Carrylite decoy that wasn't assembled correctly. It looks as if they pushed the rib through its locking position. My buddy and I both have Carrylite's and he does this fairly often so the deer head actually drops and it looks like it is feeding. What do other Carrylite owners think?

I Googled Buckwing deer decoy and nothing came up. Where did you get that picture? I might have to set my Carrylite up and get a picture to compare.

I have a buck and a doe and have had some success with both. Face the buck away from you and the doe toward you. I like to use a scent soaked white rag instead of the tail. Deer have definately noticed, but nothing like you see on videos. That is probably why they stay in my garage...theySUCK to carry into the field. With a decoy, bow, pack and CRP, eeesh. Like a monkey humpin a football. If I had a "partner" or at least a son to make carry the darn thing....

Who makes a fawn decoy.

I thought it was the other way around. Don't you want the doe facing away from you, so that the business end of her is toward youand the Buck facing toward you, soanother approachingbuck has towalks around to check out the head gear? Or am I wrong?
Thanks

My father inlaw used the Renzo(sp) this year for the first time. The cardboard ones, his was the buck. He had it set up in one of the deer trails. This buck (bigger than the decoy) came trotting around the bend in the trail. I guess as soon as it saw it (pretty close) he just about went right to his knees, then popped up and hauled a$$. Being physically bigger, why would this buck take off as fast as it could? It was just about the right time to be seeing bucks challenge one another.
Anyways he hasn't used it since. I know he cut the antlers off of it and plans to use it as a doe next time. Thats about all I know about them!

I use the Flambeau decoy and love it. I did NOT buy the antler kit for it. I took a small 6 point rack and made my own with bolts and wing nuts, totally removable. I as well use a white rag soaked with scent with a small screw to the back end. It is very amusing to watch the deer react to seeing it. In an earlier post, someone said a buck ran off from the seeing a buck decoy and asked why? Simple, the buck that ran off got whooped from another deer. The biggest deer is not always the winner. Which is why I use a small rack. Less intimidating, next year I may try a set of spikes. Deer that are not dominant will not come into a decoy if they have lost a fight. They may not even come into a doe if their pride has been damaged.

As far as carrying it afield, it sucks! But worth it. Manufacturers strongly suggest not using a decoy during gun season at all!!!!! Can't blame them. Their are idiots out there that shoot deer with collars and bells that will not hesitate to shoot a shadow of a deer even if it just a body shadow. You can paint it bright orange if you like but, that won't stop someone before first light scoping in on you and possibly making a fatal mistake.
