A must

I use and believe in decoys no matter what you are hunting. Predator hunting is more fun than having a a tecate on the beach in mexico. If you get a rush when a buck steps out? try having a coyote with it's ears pinned back running right at you. I have shot them anywhere from five feet with a shot gun to 5oo yards with a rifle. Having a decoy takes all the pressure of of the caller and gets their attention focused on a seperate object. Try calling until they see the decoy, then watch as they sneak on it. This allows the hunter to then be able to move slightly and set up to shoot. Think about this, ( you wouldn't turkey hunt without a decoy, and you've seen everyone on tv use them on everything from elk and deer to cow decoys for goose huntinng. So why not give it a shot, I did and am hooked. I prefer to use my robo dove for predator hunting, it moves it's wings up and down and has a fence clip making it easy to clip on grass and or a tree. Be carefull not to lose your decoy to hawks and birds of prey, thay hear the scweels and come within minutes, they will strike at will so beware.
