do you use your 3d target deer as decoy?

anybody done it? I have one with removeable antler (body is kinda small)and would like to try it with my 3d target for bow hunting.

I have thought about it but my GlenDale Full Rut is massive and I feel like it would have to be a bruiser to even think about coming in. I also thought about getting the body buried in the brush so only the head/rack show. Frankly GlenDale's idea of a 150" rack looks more like 135" so I'm not scared of the rack being too big, it's the fact that it's the size of a steer that scares me. Besides that it's heavy!

Portability wise, I think it would be awfully heavy, but it would likely work. I know does come into our back yard and graze around ours every once in awhile. A couple years ago I looked outside one morning and my deer target looked like someone had blown it up with a grenade! Looked like a yard sale of deer target parts. Pretty sure a buck saw him as a challenge!

mine isnt that heavy to carry. feel like 20 lbs. I will give it a try.
