Muzzleloader / Decoy?

[MJ6050]

Anyone use a decoy during late muzzleloader?

I wouldn't think you would need one. Being able to shoot 200 yards I guess I don't see how they would help. At least where I hunt anyways.

I would not. This time of year the deer are all herded up. All it will take is one doe who doesn't like your decoy and you will see a pile of white tails running away.

I have tried it several times. The does usually hate it, and have only had small bucks work it.... I am usually lugging lots of clothes with me and the deke is an inconvenience... get on a hot food source and you shouldn't need a decoy

Mid October to mid November is the best times for one. ANything outside of that and the bucks really won't care much to investigate and as others have said, most does hate them and will clear a field in a short period of time
