It is not priced too bad.  If it works, it wouldn't be much of an investment.

I don't think I would waste my time with that, it looks awfully cheap.  I think you could draw a picture of a deer on a piece of cardboard and have just as much luck.

For the price, I don't see that you have that much to lose to try it. I am skeptical of two dimensional decoys, but from the pics on the site it does seem to bring the bucks in to check it out at least and give you a shot. How much of that is just from good placement of the decoys along heavy trails with bucks walking by already, and how much is the actual decoy working I don't know, but it is a small investment in any case.  ;)

I took a good look at them and I just don't know. I think I would prefer to have a standing decoy. Those trail cam pics that they have tell me nothing. Everyone that I talk to that uses decoys swears by them. A guy I know started using decoys by cutting out a deer pattern on thin plywood. He used that for years and due to great results he decided to invest in the real deal. You have to start somewhere and maybe these are worth a shot? I just think that because they are sitting that limits your options of use.

I don't really understand why you would use one that is sitting either.  I would think that if a deer can see your sitting decoy they are probably close enough for you to shoot them anyway.  Maybe I am way off on this, I have never used any decoy before.
