I enjoy using decoys. A bit of a chore to carry when also carrying a deer stand, bow, and possibles bag but adds a neat element to the hunt. I and my daughter used the decoy purchased for this fall for bow hunting. I had no luck with a deer showing up while using the decoy. I saw deer on days I did not take the decoy but the decoy had nothing to do with deer showing up or not. My daughter saw deer most trips while using the decoy. All the deer spotted the decoy, approached closer and lowered and wagged their heads and stamped a front hoof at the decoy, easy gun range but would not approach close enough for a good bow shot. Daughter said the deer seemed to be waiting for an obvious response from the decoy. I plan on experimenting with adding decoy movement when needed, especially for calm days, before next season. I managed a nice wall hanger at a scrape I watched the buck make the afternoon before he returned the next morning 15 yds. from my repositioned climbing stand.

Hang'em High
Got my largest buck ever this fall with my bow. Glad I had purchased this product before the harvest. Would have rated five stars if the hoist had a brake built in to the hoist to hold the deer's lifted positions (like the last one I owned). Since there is no brake, I tied the pull rope to the front of my vehicle and raised and lowered my deer during the skinning/butchering process as needed by moving the vehicle. Also made pulling the deer up and down easy letting my vehicle do the work. Good quality.

They Work!
Bought the three pack, practiced shooting a hanging thick pillow; then field tested: 3 jakes leading 15 hens came to my jake decoy during a KY fall archery season, after my shot all quickly departed - the jake I targeted left his head by my decoy and traveled about 8 yds, heads easily resharpened.
