Just last season, for the first time, I used a 2 dimensional bedded deer. Though the deer I shot didn't go right up to the decoy it spent a lot of time looking at it allowing me to shoot the deer. I was in an open ground blind. Another time I had left my ground blind to go grab a quick lunch, my brother who was still posted said several deer hung around the decoy for a bit apparently trying to figure it out. So from my limited experience I'd say they can work.

Hey Dutch! I've read that using turkey decoys during deer season will make deer feel comfortable and unthreatened. They seem to think that if the "turkeys" aren't afraid then it's ok for them too.

I used the primos scarface decoy last year with a rattle bag and called in 2 deer,one was a doe who came running at the decoy during the rut.She came in at 10yds and i thought it was going to be a huge buck.We also use them in the late months like dec and jan and they work good.Here is our set-up.
