We will be chasing early season (sept 1) antelope, my daughter has two doe tags. I know from my previous experience how easily they spot you and bolt. Would a doe or buck decoy help that early in the season? I have heard that they work much better on bucks and during the rut, but would a decoy possibly buy us some time for a shot or would it likely spook them?
I've only hunted them once and aren't too familiar with their behavior other then not wanting people closer than 500 yards.
