I would say yes and no. Really depends on your area. The guys on THP used on the other night and had a buck come right in. I’d say younger deer may respond a little better to it right now than an older deer may. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
In my experience it hasn’t made any difference this early. I think later on when they have been chased all over they may not be crazy about seeing him. I watched three bucks a couple nights ago. The dominant one definitely checked out the others. There wasn’t any overt displays of aggression. Next chance I get I will be bringing the decoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I had mine in the truck last night but decided against it at the last minute. We’ve had bucks sparring on camera as well. Honestly there’s only one way to find out..
