Decoys for doe and buck

This usually occurs between mid October and mid November, when mature bucks go through a series if aggression and breeding urges. If deer decoys can be placed in an area with no other threat, the buck is less likely to be fooled.
Static decoys
Static deer spotting systems are very effective when hunting deer. The deer can approach the static deer spotting system from one end or the other, as long as the moving parts of the decoy are easily identifiable. This method will help lure deer to the area but is less effective than static deer-spotting systems. If a deer spots a deer in the woods but no other deer, it will be suspicious.
Buck decoys
It is all about the location when hunting. While deer decoys can work as well as dynamite if used in the right place, it's not enough to make a difference. Here are some tips to maximize your chances of catching the buck you want using deer denys.
Scent-free decoys
Deer decoys are able to attract the deer, which is something that could otherwise make them ignore. When a deer carries the decoy, their scent will be transferred to clothing. The smell will also be transferred to the vehicle's surfaces where it will smell. Their scent can also be transmitted to deer when they approach the decoy. Hence, scent-free deer decoys are recommended.
Set them up
It is crucial to set up deer coys correctly in order for you to have a successful shot. Deer are very aware of the surroundings and won't be surprised if they walk into a small clearing at 5:00 in the morning. It's not uncommon for deer reactions to unexpected decoys to be negative so make sure they have plenty of time to view your surroundings before approaching.

How to hunt wild ducks
Decoys are the most common method of hunting wild ducks. Live decoys are the best way to hunt wild ducks. They should be placed at a distance away from your blind, so you can view them from afar. You should avoid hunting during windy conditions when the birds tend to go out of sight quickly. Some birds might also be scared off by hunters who are nearby.
It is important to know how many wild ducks you wish to hunt. If you don’t know which type of bird your shooting is, you should not shoot. You must ensure you have enough ammunition so you can take down as many birds or not.
If you do kill a lot of birds you will need to prepare the meat first. It is best not to wait until the meat is done cooking. After the meat has been cooked, take out any bones or feathers.

Keep your distance from wild duck hunters until you are close enough to take a shot. This means being quiet and still as you wait to take a shot.
