Turkey decoys to relax deer?

[slickbricky]

We put out blue heron decoys in our duck decoys to (theoretically) make ducks feel more at ease about the set up. I'm thinking about setting a few turkey decoys around my treestand to make the deer more relaxed. Any opinions/suggestions?

Pour out 40 lbs. of corn.

That'll relax them.

I did, 5 yards from the salt block.

What? You've never been called a Pumpkin Ap p lehole by an enraged motorist shaking their fist as they drive by?

 

I'm glad someone is finally taking a stand against all this obscenity on The Internets!

I've seen deer get agitated by the presence of turkey decoys during spring gobbler and fall seasons. I have had bucks approach decoys and horn them and does snort them spring and fall. At the least it will take their attention from you. Corn gets my vote.

hunting mulies in deep south west texas i noticed that they tended to mingle with the sheep out there.

Good idea Tucker, 40 pounds of corn, 1 feed trough, 10 buckets of water, and a tree stand. You could have deer, ducks and turkeys in one hunt and without leaving your stand. sounds priceless

 

On a serious note, what about using a deer decoy to chill out that dirty old spring gobbler??

not to mention a corn crop come spring.
