Decoys during gun season..Before anyone flips...I ask because of a thread I saw on another forum...as most of you may have quessed ...I for one wouldn't risk it even on our private land....thats just me

[Culvercreek hunt club]

Archery- yes.....Gun-Never

[G-Man]

Archery yes, gun no way....

[Deerthug]

Archery season definitely but wouldn't think of doing it during gun.

[Geno C]

nope never used a decoy... i dont have a need to

[growalot]

must be a southern thing....over the years I've noticed several of our southern brothern...hhmm brethern??which ever,,,lol.... mentioning hunting over deer decoys while during a fire arm season....perhaps because many of them have to hunt hunting clubs and the members that belong are well aware of the usage

[Doc]

Some guys just like to push the safety envelope a bit ..... lol. No, we manage to shoot enough of each other just using live deer. I don't think we really need to set ourselves for drawing fire with decoys ..... lol.

[growalot]

I'm with you on that

[nyantler]

you could always put orange on the deer..lol

I was actually working on a patent for a trojan horse deer decoy. climb into it like the big goose shell decoy/blinds. Gave up on it though. there was one design flaw I couldn't get past..lol

[growalot]

This is from a guy in Alabama....

I used the Carry-Lite with the Tail-Wagger all last year with no luck[&o] (to be fair, I was unable to hunt the entire month of January, when the rut is in full-wing down here)

I did have another hunter put the stalk on and shoot it however (do a search for " Dang, He shot My Deer Decoy" ).

After season was over, I painted all the white on the decoy with fluorescent orange spray paint.

LMAO, whats the flaw?? lol

[Doc]

I expect that some day we will be reading about some hunter using that old Indian trick of throwing a deer hide over their shoulders and wearing a mounted deer head and antlers on their head. It probably would work pretty good ........ for a while....lol.

[Culvercreek hunt club]

LMAO, whats the flaw?? lol

The other hunters...lol

[Geno C]

The other hunters...lol

i hope you know i was joking! lol

[Culvercreek hunt club]

I sure did. Just thought it was funny What Doc wrote because that was the other thought that ran through my head .

[bubba]

For years when we had a new guy join the hunting party, we joked he had to carry the decoys. Of course it was before decoys even existed. I would never use one as I carry enough stuff now and dont need more. Plus I really do not see the need for one. Just another ploy started by the elite tv hunters to get decoys sold, like most of the other gimmick gotta have toys.

[WNYBuckHunter]

I have not tried using a decoy, yet. I can think of times when I wished I had one to keep a buck's attention somwhere other than towards me. I would use it during either season, and probably wouldnt use it if I wasnt in a tree stand. I also wouldnt put it directly under my tree during gun season, as I wouldnt need a deer to get as close to me.

As far as anyone shooting it goes, Id laugh my ass off, right after I explained to them that they would be paying for a new one.
