I like the boss buck and i use mine in open food plots/ fields. Any open/semi open ares work well. I have killed 2 nice bucks over decoys both of them were blind called in. Really like decoys just a bit of a pain to transport.
I have sported both the boss buck and Carrylite in my time. Depends on preference, however, both have served their purpose well.
I like to use decoys along field edges. I will sit a buck decoy out 20-25 yards with it quartering to the woods. The bucks will come in and generally circle to face the decoy. They also work well with rattling and calling. It will give a buck a visual and capture his attention. They will spook sometimes if they get too close though.
Something I've always wanted to try but haven't yet. Strongly considering purchasing and trying a decoy as well yet this year.
