Buck of a Lifetime
My name is John Heller. I live in Eastern South Dakota. I have been hunting with your Carry Lite Deer Decoy for 4 years. If you have never hunted whitetail deer during the rut with a decoy you have got to try it. On October 31, 2007 I was spot and stalking Mule deer when I bumped a huge whitetail deer from his bed in a small draw. Three days later I was back in that same little draw with my Carrylite buck decoy hoping to rattle the big bruiser into bow range. At 5:30 that evening I heard a loud grunt coming from behind a cedar tree 10 yards from my decoy. As I looked around a small tree in front of me I saw the body of a big whitetail. I reached for my bow knowing this was the deer I had had an encounter with three days ago. He came around the tree stiff legged looking for a fight. He caught me bringing my bow to full draw and ran about 30 yards away. I followed him at full draw and bleated to try to stop him. He pulled up and looked back at the decoy, which gave me the opportunity to put a well placed arrow in the pocket behind the shoulder. He ran only 30 yards and expired. I know that if it wasn’t for my decoy I would have never harvested such a great deer. Thank you Carrylite
