Has anybody tried this aggressive hunting technique?

[Thumper Dunker]

Pretty cool. Done that for coyotes before.

[Longbow58]

Would like to try that. Got to find out what kind of decoy that was. Anyone know?

[Droptine26]

I think it's a Montanna Decoy.

The reason I've reached this crotchety old age is that you'd never catch me holding a buck decoy out in the middle of an exposed field, public or not.  Hope their life insurance premiums are caught up!

I have this DVD. some very exciting hunts indeed! and some great footage.

They are for real, I've talked them in person. They pretty much throw everything out the window and do what comes to mind at the moment.

Looks awesome!

I like the idea(s) of adding blaze orange to the mix...on the deke and the hunter.

I certainly would not bother the deer.

What an adrenaline rush it would be hey?

I have not done exactly that, but I sure would if I had the opportunity to hunt an area that had big bucks like that.  

Any means of the chase that goes beyond just sitting and waiting sounds like a blast to me. Although sitting and waiting works, we know that, it is so boring and there are lots of other things we can do to spice it up, if we just open up to it.


I am thinking that the odds of getting shot thru the decoy are kinda slim as long as you are not doing this during a gun season.  Use a little bit of care.  I am thinking that the odds of falling out of a tree, or poking ourselves with a broadhead far exceed those odds, but we do it anyway.

I will be packing along a pig or cow decoy to south texas this winter to try using it in staling javalina and pigs.

That's just like the Redskins used to do.....without all the fancy recording devices and fake prop bows.

[CedarAddict]

I actually have a DVD of these guys, got it for like 5$ so figured why not?  It is fun to watch but they are crazy bad shots and wound/miss more animals than they get, at least in the DVD I have.

Have tried it on turkeys several times and have always come up short, yet the results provide a glimmer of hope, so I will continue to try.

Am confident that the deer approach could be quite productive if the situation and the hunter adapts to the evolving situation.

Note: believe that if I was bit smaller and in better shape that my turkey stalks could have been more productive. I just don't seem to be able to refrain from gorging on the abundantly lush food plots.


Since I only ground hunt and relish spot and stock opportunities, I will likely procure this video.

Thank you for sharing.

It's a situation type of hunting so don't hang up your treestands just yet unless enjoy tag soup.  Most places I've been you're not going to sneak up within 20 yards on a smart whitetail buck even if you were Casper the Ghost.  Other critters, most city slickers can walk up on but a sneaking up on a big buck in his own home ??????Not in my neck of the woods.

[Iowabowhunter]

Awesome video, exactly what I did pronghorn hunting and it was a major adrenaline rush. Would only attempt during bow season however

[96ssportsp]

I can see where this would work "awesome" in my draw only archery Elk unit!! In fact, I am going to get an Elk decoy for next fall and give it a try. In a unit 60 miles x 50 miles, x 60 miles triangle......30 branch bull tags and 165 spike tags, don't think there is a chance in h..l of someone shooting me....and my life insurance is paid up!

You would be wearing a bullet hole where I hunt.

[karrow]

i think it would work. saw it done on pronghorns. one other question what kind of shirts are they wearing with the net?

[mark Willoughby]

That's pretty awesome but I hope that deer never wants to fight!

Yes. Same here

[beendare]

In my experience with Elk and deer decoys; they work sometimes...and sometimes they don't.Heck, I've called a bull from over 1/2 mile away with my montana dekes....

When they do work its spectacular! It is a pain to haul them around sometimes....
