I have had GREAT success in Kansas using a GlenDel Target without the antlers on it in an open field. I have watched bucks come in, get the wind in their favor and walk right to it. I always set it at about 25 yards quartered away, spray it down with scent killer and some EverCalm and a little estrous. On the other hand I have NOT have much success using one in the timber, only in open/CRP fields.

Decoys work
You can attract the attention of a curious buck with a doe decoy...he may commit and come real close, or maybe just a little closer or at least stops him in his tracks for a shot opportunity
I used one at Hagerman & caught the attention of a giant buck, he stopped with interest & walked off
Give it a try

I have had some great success playing with doe decoys. I have even had three bucks at different sets repeatedly try to breed my doe. I have used tinks 69 sprayed on the doe and put a tail on the decoy. I have also rigged monofilament line to the tail so i could wiggle the tail. However, never had a "shooter" buck come in though.

I’ve used them quite a bit in Kansas with great success where it makes sense. Open areas where deer can see for a long ways and you can rattle and call to them. I’m against Doe Only setups and use either a lone buck or combo Tending buck with bedded doe. The single doe will inevitably spook any other doe in the country and they’ll ruin your hunt quick. This time of year bucks are just as likely to come in and show dominance to a buck decoy but I take it further with the combo a lot of times to make it really tick him off! I film my hunts too so it makes for a good show.
