When decoying deer, movement of your decoy is the key success. All hunters know that if they could get their decoy to move, it would be more realistic and put approaching deer at ease. With the SCARFACE deer decoy, the slightest breeze will move the head and tail naturally. Once a buck sees SCARFACE in his area, he will come in to investigate the intruder. Be Ready ! - All of SCARFACE-Feets components: head, ears, antlers, and legs fit inside the soft body cavity. This makes him easy to carry and cuts down on unwanted noise in the field.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I would have rated 5 stars if two thing were addressed.
1. You need to trim the lower edges where the head pivots in order to get decent movement of the head - a sharp knife works well and yo can see where the neck catches and where to trim.
2. At the bottom of the stand where the pole attaches to the base is not securely welded. If you dont have a welder/of friend with one, consider a different product. Mine broke on first use when I went to pry it out of the ground...oh yea, don't use the pole attached to the base for leverage - likely why it broke, but still was a weak weld. If you must pry, remove the pole and put it under the base legs as a lever. My base was re-welded and wont be breaking again.
Does it work - oh yeah! Place head on on a buck trail and tilt the ears back as an aggressive stance. My decoy went flying when the buck charged it. Also says not to place scent on the decoy...maybe for that reason. But I put one of those wicks on the antlers with scrape mate and yes it worked. Figured I don't want my buck to smell like a doe and if I use it as a doe don't want it smelling like a buck. As far as the motion goes...once trimmed it works with the slightest breeze assuming its level.
The decoy comes with a bag to transport into the woods. Some people have had probs putting the head, and both legs in the body, but there is a way... head to the right, rear legs to the left (shove them way down there) and front legs center line along the top. When deployed I throw the transport bag into the body cavity.
Also use caution during gun season. AKA dont be down range...safer if used during bow or from tree stand.
