Used to use them for stand hunting for whitetails during the rut. Used both the doe and buck decoys.
Had quite a few bucks come into them. Scent control of decoys was important. I tied a white rag to the tail and put on doe in heat lure and tied a fishing line to the rag and would move the white rag. Movement helped, or seemed to, bring in more wary bucks.Washed in unscented soap and handled with latex gloves.
