montana decoys???

Anybody use montana dcoys for ground hunting whitetails?Something to distract them for a second so you can draw.

I'm using one some this year. My experience is that the deer's attention is drawn to it, but they really get nervous. I have had several does stomp and blow at the decoy, but it does seem to hold their attention for a while. I have had a couple of little bucks walk up to it in their dominance mode, and then walk off when the decoy doesn't respond. I'm waiting for a big buck to show some interest, but so far, no luck.

Does don't like decoys. Rutting bucks seem to get interested. I would rather have a live doe than a fake one when a buck shows up.

I'm using a renzo silhouette with similar results. Old wise does know something's up. Young fawns and bucks are usually suckers for it. On a windy day when the wind is blowing the tail and giving some realistic movement that's when they'll really work.
