deer decoys
I did a search, but not too much came up for deer decoys. Anyone use the Renzo, or Montanna, or Quacker thin style deer decoys? Bucks or does better? Feeders, alert? Any suggestions?

RE: deer decoys
I always questioned the awkwardness of carrying a decoy into the field with me. Here I am trying to be stealthy while carrying a full size decoy under my arms. I have alsoheard people saying they take Glendel Buck into the woods with them, and that thing is heavy!

RE: deer decoys
I have only taken a decoy out twice. It was a doe decoy that scared an 8-point the one time and had a doe and her fawn bed down next it the other time. It was interesting to watch the deer interact with it.

RE: deer decoys
Thats a great looking decoy. HCH
My only problem decoying here is.. Idahos rifle/anyweaponsseason for whitetails up herelasts from Oct 10to Dec 1... I'd love to use a decoy during the month of Nov while bowhunting.. but would most likelyget killed..

RE: deer decoys
I have similar problems here shed. Up until novemeber i would be ok but after that i would not be able to put it on any farmland. All of our land is posted however that does not seem to stop a few people. I will be getting a decoy hopefully soon and will put it up on one particular field right behind a sign, sit with my camera in the fenclineand wait. I have told these people to leave for the past i don't know how many years and they have not. Sorry but i see no other option to get it to sink in.

RE: deer decoys
That is a great looking decoy, but Iwas hoping to get reviews on the thin, flat,easy to carry decoys if people have used them. I know they are only $30, but if they work, then it would be nice.

RE: deer decoys
I think they could be safely used in gun country by having some orange on them during transportation(if not in a dufflebag),set up, and takedown if you are a treestand hunter and if you are a ground hunter, place some orange on thedecoyor orange above or nearthe decoy on a tree branch. Be careful for sure!! I have a buckwing bobblehead turkey decoy and the movement and detail is awesome. The heads really move with realism, something conventional decoys have always lacked.
