I agree !!!!!

had to come up with something. i find that them big nanny does are more of a challenge to hunt than a nice buck. they rarely make a mistake.

Good idea indeed.. Never thought about using turkey decoys like that.



I cant help you with the deer decoys AirBourne. Ive havent bought one yet. Onehores let us know when you get all your ducks in a row. I would like to see them as well.

112 days till opening day deer bow here and I am still looking for a nice decoy. I've been checking a lot of the outdoors stores but I am not really impressed with what is available. and some of the prices for these things are unbeleivable.

I mean for some of these higher price decoys I would expect the decoy to turn around, pounce on the deer and hold it down till you could walk up and shoot it. and you better hope the deer moving in need glasses.

Had a friend tell me the same thing about the turkey decoys. Tried it and worked like a champ. I was able to get a young man, in a wheelchair, close enough to pop off a few shots, at a couple of different deer, in the last couple days of last years hunting season. We were finally able to get him one down. It was 128" 8pt. that no one had seen since two weeks after Tennesse's muzzleloader season opened. It was a perfect first deer for that young man and one of the best times I have ever had.

Hmmm.
Am I to understand that deer have crossed all barriers and are now actively persuing interspiecie reproduction? We now have bucks sneaking up to put one on a hen?

I would love to hunt over a deer decoy also but can't quite get over the sticker shock. The turkey decoy set up sounds neat. Gives a little extra use and excuse to get a few turkey decoys.

I've considered trying to build a deer decoy. (not enough hobby time) My plan would be to tan a deer hide with the fur on and stretch it over a wire frame. My bet would be that this would be bulky and a lot of work to get it in place but would look a lot more realistic than plastic bodied decoys.

there is a company already doing that. I have seen the postings at the range. I would think that a tanned hide would make it considerable heavy.

Man, some of you guys are really on the ball, while my old brain is going downhill it is encouraging that there are still brains that work great. Love the turkey thing, I would never have thought of that. Will give it a try ,Can"t hurt.
Good job!

The turkey decoys concept is not too far fetched to believe. last year when I had my first of several lets call him (blessed buck) encounters. it occurred very shortly after I watched for 20 minutes or so, 2 gobblers walk in from nowhere to within 15 yds of my stand. deer associate turkeys as The coast is clear.
