I didn't buy the decoy for hunting, but for an art project. But it certainly fooled my dogs. They saw us assemble it, and still, when we put it on its feet, they came to sniff it and started to bark at it frantically. It looks much better than the ridiculous inflatable ones or the flat photographic one. -- By the way, you are very unlikely to fool a deer with a photo. Most animals do not visually understand a flattened 3D space. Try showing a photo of a dog to your dog. Only about 10% of them will even notice that they see a dog. None of them can recognize themselves. You'd be better off with a mirror or a tv, then most see the animal. You might make a curious deer come to smell that big unusual thing-- It is practical to be able to put the decoy apart and store the pieces in the belly. Very light. Easy to assemble too. You'll wonder a little the first time (just read the instruction punk, it's 1 page), then you'll be able to do it in about 2 minutes. The longest part is getting the pieces out of the belly. There are loops on the hoves useful to anchor the deer if it's windy or on uneven ground. The two sets of ears are fun for hunters. I knocked one star out because of the messy joints. It shouldn't be much harder to make the pieces fit with a very minimal gap at the junction, it's just a question of making a good mold. This deer has pretty visible assembly joints, slightly Frankenstein-ish. I don't know how well deer see, but if they have good sight, they'll see something is odd, I wonder if they'd care. It also make the deer less attractive if you wanted it as a garden ornament. I guess you could put a bow around it's neck. :)
