    Too funny Kooty!!! Did you leave him out all night or just while you were hunting? I just got done reading Rattling, Calling & Decoying Whitetails by Gary Clancy and I am pumped to give it a try now. For you guys that have scar from what I read all the parts fit into the body cavity to carry out to the stand, is it easy to carry? does it come with a strap of some kind? Have any of you tried running a string to the tail or head to make it move? One of the things that Clancy talks about in his book was to run a fishing line to the tail with fishing reel & screw an eyelit to the bottom of the tree so the fishing line would run straight up the tree to his stand. This way Clancy could lure in a deer by moving the tail when it was spotted buy a deer, the moving tail or head will get deer to come in better then a decoy that does not move at all.

    Head and legs fit inside body cavity. Carry bag included. Head and tail move in the wind and takes very little wind to move them. Quiet and easy to put up and take down. Great decoy.

    When a decoy works, they are so much fun to hunt over. We primarily use ours during rutting periods.

    Talking about the damaged decoys.

    A few years back while rifle hunting in ND at the ranch, I left my decoy out overnight as I forgot to take him doen.

    It was a doe decoy and I always take a sock and staple it to the rump and put doe in heat on the sock.

    There was about 5 inches of snow on the ground and the next morning I walked out in the dark and got into my stand

    The sun started to rise and I noticed I thought that my decoy fell over

    When I got done hunting for the morning around 11, I walked over to my decoy and there was blood on the ground, sock and on the snow.

    The decoy had about 4 spear holes I would assume from the real buck in it chest. I do not know if the buck tried to mount the decoy as there was alot of blood on the rump of the deer or if he cut his nose from sniffing the sock with the staple in the sock.

    I like to attach something to the rump for a tail as when the wind blows, the tail moves and it looks more life like.

    That’s the last time I will leave my decoy out.

    Yes it is a very good book, I have also read Hunting The Whitetail Rut & Strictly Whitetails. Right now I am reading Hunting Tough Bucks, I have also been to several of his seminars that man is a weath of knowlage when it comes to whitetails, I always hang around to the last at his seminars and pick his brain every chance I get. I plan on buying the rest of his books as well…….
