a dummy in the stand
what do you guys think about using a dummy in a stand when your not there
I thought about taking some cheap wal mart camo and straw or something making a dummy to have in the stand when i am not in it might help keep other hunters away when i am not there aswell.

but anyway, i dont think its worth it. and if your hunting public land, all that stuff would probably get stolen anyway

i have used that trick before on a old doe that would bust me every time. she would come in around fifty yards look up snort and walk off, i strapped a manikin up there let it sit for a week and shot her the next weekend.

The idea is to have the element of surprise, that's not exactly a surprise. Not to mention, what would you do with the dummy when you want to hunt? Lower him to the ground?

if you lowered him to the ground wouldnt that kind of defeat the purpose, because then theres something on the ground that was never there before. then instead of the deer busting YOU, theyre busting your dummy.
