    I would say it's not too early, however I personally haven't had too much luck with it but hopefully that will change.

    Killed last years buck on Oct. 30th over a decoy so I wouldn't say it's too early. Good luck!

    tried decoys quite some time ago--all it accomplished for me was to chase every doe out of the area ! sold it cheap to a guy from Illinois

    I ran my first decoy set of the year last night. I had three different bucks come in to shooting range. Also pulled in four does but luckily one of the bucks ran them off so I didn’t get stuck up in the tree all night.
