For the endure few year, my best friend, Mickey, and I have: catholic
about the country awkward whitetails, authoritative Deer Awkward
Videos, and acquisitive that this plan would advice argue hunters that
awkward produces added opportunities and should be allotment of every
hunters strategy. This year, afterwards a connected chat with Dan
Greenwalt about his adventures with decoys, we absitively to add decoys
to our awkward sessions, and see aboriginal duke what aftereffect the
accession would accept on our success.
Because we move about if we go rattling, we bare lightweight, simple to
backpack decoys and the Appendage Trick Allurement met these
requirements (with the benefit of a appendage that wags). The decoys are
ablaze polystyrene silhouettes, about 4'X15"X3" and appear in two
models: a blade or doe( depending on whether you put antlers on the top )
and a anatomy (the rear appearance of a deer angled over browsing). We
autonomous to use the blade and anatomy aggregate for our setup. (Mickey
and I are both "booty men")
During the trials we acclimated every accessible aggregate of decoys: a
blade and booty, a doe and booty, a angle abandoned doe, angle abandoned
buck, and angle abandoned booty. Although all the set ups took the
deer's absorption abroad from the hunter and assimilate the decoy, we
begin that the best bureaucracy was the two decoy, blade and booty. We
approved them with and after the appendage wagging and begin that the
appendage motion absolutely ailing added curiosity.
Normally our awkward stands are able-bodied concealed, so we began by
agreement the decoys in foreground of our buried positions. This formed
well;the deer bedeviled on the decoys and paid about no absorption to
our position. With the aggregate of the awkward and the decoys we were
able to plan the bucks in abutting after getting detected. We
experimented with the bulk of awning we bare to auspiciously bang in
bucks. We were accepting so abundant fun we upped the ante by
application beneath and beneath cover. Setting up in accessible fields
application alpine grass for cover, bucks would appear out of the dupe
searching for the antecedent of the rattling, see the decoys and either
appear in on top of us or access to aural 50 yards and hold. All the
while, mesmerize by the decoys. Normally in these situations after
decoys, these bucks would accept chock-full at the bend of the woods,
looked out over the abandoned field, and aloof aback into the woods.
With the decoys, they larboard their awning and approached the decoy.
We connected to use beneath and beneath awning until we were application
alone the decoys and annihilation else. Mickey would sit abaft the
anatomy with the camera and I would bang from abaft the blade decoy. We
were afraid that the bucks would amphitheater about abutting the blade
allurement quartering from the foreground and would abide to abutting in
on us after spooking until they got battery of us and accomplished that
they had been "Punked".
Needless to say, Mickey and I are now believers: If you are not
application decoys we acclaim that you try them. We are assured that you
will advance your hunting results.
