Its time, is anyone trying anything new?

I would like to try decoys this year. Start out with something standard, next to a feeder. Then if that has some attraction value, move a "doe dummy" (I could go sooooo far with that one) to scraps. Put out some "stink" and let the standard failures, of all male species, go to work. :spin: women. . . :D

Anyone every try decoys?

I have used one off and on for a couple years with varing results. Then last year one of my sons shot a nice ten coming in to a doe decoy. I was only a hundred yards away and got to see the whole thing, wish I would have had a camera that day. He circled the field where the decoy was and then came in really hard right for her it was great.

Did you put out "stink"?

Yup, but the trick, especially with archery seems to be getting the decoy the right distance up wind where a buck will pass between the decoy and stand and not down wind of stand.

Nothing new, just continuing on with the same. We farmed and planted wheat yesterday on our game preserve. We farm half of our acerage letting the other half come up as volunteer and occassional Johnson grass. Next season we'll spray and farm that area. This year our newly planted wheat is in the middle with the volunteer on the outer edge. Next year we'll flip it. Feeders won't go into action until late September.
