"During the blacktail deer rut here in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, I set up a deer decoy to see the interaction of live deer and their response to a foam deer decoy with antlers. On this one occasion, I noticed the deer decoy was 20 feet away from where I staked the decoy into the ground. I just figured that a deer had got the decoy stuck on one of the tines on his antlers and had dragged the decoy to where it lay, but I was amazed to see on the cam video that the buck actually threw the decoy with its antlers and looked shocked that he had did it."
