#Decoys for bigger game

Just a selection of decoys to help take the animals eyes off the hunter. As it stands right now animals directly approach the source of the call which makes shooting a little more difficult and tedious. These decoys are just out there to give the animal something else to focus on.

This is especially a problem for people who enjoy using the treestands and blinds since the animal will often run right under the treestand and give you no shot until it runs off.

None of these need to have particularly strong attraction ratings but it would be nice for the sake of scent hunting if you could use the scent around the decoy and then fall back to your stand to either call or wait and watch.

Could also solve some mission problems where you need to take an animal in a particular place and your closest need zone is 678 yards away (Medved's first Boar mission is a pain)

You can get these super light and cheap decoys for all kinds of deer, predators (hence the rabbit) and even bigger game like elk and moose. At least give these a thought, it would be a nice addition.

That’s a great idea!

Either this or some kind of scent bomb which could be placed away from your stand .... I know we've all used the cotton ball trick ....

solemn karma

yes please. decoys can work rather well when combined with scent and calls cuz well, you arent just an invisible buck calling out to the world lol

and or adding a decoy can reduce the spook chance of using your caller too often too(i was told that using a caller too much can actually spook them)
