never seen that. How does a cow decoy work?


Deer are so used to seeing cows that they don't pay any attention to them or consider them a threat.

I've thought that in rural Nebraska the cutout of a pickup truck would provide good cover. Pickups are parked everywhere during harvest and post-harvest field work, so deer have been seeing them for weeks and one that isn't moving isn't a threat.
