Used a doe decoy last night for the first time. Set her up in the field so that she was visible from the timber and about 20 yards upwind of my ground blind......and the does poured in! I had 8 turkeys to the west of my blind that were keeping me entertained. I looked back in the direction of the decoy and "she" was accompanied by a button buck. He stayed for about 2 hrs, never straying more than 15 yards from the decoy. Several mature does stepped out and appoached the decoy, almost all worked downwind of it. One doe actually licked the decoys neck. None of the does spooked. I was set up in that area because of the 150 class 10 I saw a night before who was checking on a doe that had stepped out into that field. My fingers were crossed, hoping to pull him out into the open and with all the doe activity around the decoy, my hopes were high. I would be posting a pic of the beast had he showed himself last night so needless to say, he didn't. I do think over all, the decoy was a successful ad-on to my bag of tricks. I'll let you guys, and Kat, know if the decoy generates any interest from the half of the species with headgear. I'm in hopes that it will.
