The number one reason deer hunters don’t shoot monster bucks is they don’t get shot opportunities.
Here are Four Deer Decoy Secrets that when applied can help you get a shot opportunity at a monster buck.
Secret: Deer Decoys Visually Confirm the Presence of a Deer
A monster buck responding to deer scent, deer calls and antler rattling is seeking Visual Confirmation of the deer he smelled and heard. He’s no dummy. He knows that if he smelled a deer, heard a deer, he should see a deer. Without Visual Confirmation of a deer, many bucks will get nervous and leave. Monster bucks don’t get to be monster bucks by being careless and entering where “angels fear to tread.” Lack of Visual Confirmation of a Deer often prevents monster bucks from coming into your setup.
Strategy: Place a TailTRICK Deer Decoy near your deer scent, deer call or antler rattling location to Visually Confirm the presence of a deer to approaching bucks. Once the buck has visual confirmation that there’s a deer there, he will move closer to the TailTRICK deer decoy and your overall setup. This creates a shot opportunity.
Secret: Deer Decoys Divert a Buck’s Attention Away from You
Because deer have such large ears which are spaced fairly wide apart, they are able to pinpoint your deer call or antler rattling location before you even know they’re there. It’s nearly impossible to get a shot opportunity at a monster buck with him staring you in the face. Lack of Diversion often makes shot opportunities impossible without spooking the buck.
Strategy: Place a TailTRICK Deer Decoy near your deer scent, deer call or antler rattling location and you’ll divert a buck’s attention away from your hunting position and fixate it onto the decoy. Once the monster buck’s attention is fixated on the TailTRICK deer decoy and not you, you’ll have a shot opportunity and the freedom to move and take it.
Secret: Deer Decoys Visually Attract Bucks towards You
Deer hunters without a Tail Motion Deer Decoy have no Visual way to attract a buck’s attention and lure him closer for a shot opportunity. A duck hunter would never go duck hunting without decoys. Duck decoys Visually Attract ducks to the duck decoys and the hunter’s stand. Lack of Visual Attraction often prevents hunters from getting bucks in range for a shot opportunity.
Strategy: Place a TailTRICK Deer Decoy with Swishing Tail near your hunting stand and you can visually attract a buck’s attention from a distance and lure him closer. Once the buck is visually attracted to the TailTRICK deer decoy, he will begin to move towards it. This creates a shot opportunity that you would not have had without a TailTRICK Deer Decoy.
Secret: Deer Decoys with Tail Motion Lure Bucks Closer
Motionless deer decoys look like statues and display negative deer body language because of a lack of motion. Motionless decoys can create tension for approaching bucks seeking positive deer body language (motion) that signals its ok to come closer. Lack of motion on a deer decoy will cause some bucks to hang up and not come close enough for a shot opportunity.
Strategy: Place a TailTRICK Deer Decoy with its Motion Tail near your hunting stand and you’ll let monster bucks know “it’s ok to come closer.” Once the buck sees the positive deer body language (motion) of the TailTRICK deer decoy, he will begin to move closer. As the buck moves closer, a shot opportunity is created.
