Last year a read on TradGang about a guy using a cutout deer decoy to kill a nice buck. After the midterm elections, last year, I did my civic duty and helped eliminate the unsightly political signs that littered the back roads and came up with my own deer decoy...Bucky! ;D. I did the cutout and the colorization and my wife painted on the details. I think she did a great job. The antlers are removable if I want Bucky to be Flossy for a day(he goes either way...not that there is anything wrong with it). I guess the closer we get to the rut, I will see how Bucky(and Flossy) works as a decoy. Thought ya'll might like to see pics, so... Pat

very cool. something good finally came about cause of an election. ;D
-
believe it or not I was just wondering how a flat decoy like that would work during archery season....
now ya got me thinkin' of trying one....
maybe spray some Tinks 69 on it when the rut kicks in >:D.

What the original guy did was use cotton balls on the tail area soaked with the appropriate scent. Doe-in-heat during the rut with Flossy and dominant buck lure just before the rut with Bucky. I'll keep ya'll posted. Pat

Sure is a lot of difference between hunting mulies and hunting white tail. Now stack a whole bunch of those signs up and make it 3-D. ;D Justin

So is Bucky a cross-dresser? or is Flossy? Must go ponder! ;D
-
Don't take the shot at him Pat !! If you miss no one will believe he jumped the string ;D

Ron, I was pondering Flossy(I removed the antlers) the other evening and morning from my stand. I was impressed. ;) I think, with antlers and during the rut, Bucky will be a force to be reckoned with...or Flossy with the right scent. ;)
I will have to admit, I did pick a spot, a few times, while sitting on stand.
Marie, It depends on the season! ;) Pat
