Rut on, Buckie time is here.
« on: November 06, 2009, 01:48:00 PM »
With the rut starting how many of us are using home made decoys like Buckie ?
     
   
   
 This is Buckies 4th year, with 3 kills under his belt so far.
  It has been the best 3 dollars I ever spent.

Awesome homemade decoy.
Ive never used decoys, but the vids Ive seen of them being used are fun and exciting. Ill bet you have a great time with "Buckie"

I also think that since these simple decoys work as well as they do are a testament to the fact that when it comes to fooling a whitetails vision...Form, pattern, and movement are far more important than fine detail.

This is funny Pete but I was just thinking of Bucky the other day. I couldn't remember Who created him.

  Thanks for posting. Could You give a rough estimate of how wide and tall Bucky is? Thanks

Here's my Bucky. I copied Pete's idea a few years ago. Mine is made with old political signs, duct tape and spray paint. I also used removable antlers and her name is Flossy.

I used the wire frame that came with the political signs.
