I was a little late getting out the other night, so instead of going up a tree I opted to sit on a stool in some corn rows in a partially combined field. I put a 2-dimensional buck decoy out in front of me (Montana). It seemed a little early for decoys, but they seem to draw deer's attention any time I use them.
This buck appeared opposite my position and acted just like it was the rut, strutting in like he wanted to fight. Lucky for him I'm on the market for something bigger and older. He was at 15 yards at one point. Hunt footage is grainy because it was filmed with my cell phone.

Re: Fun Decoy Encounter
That is pretty cool, looks like a fun sit. Weird drop tine on that buck, almost comes over his eye
