A.The idea for this decoy came from a doe we raised in the house. When she got older we put a dog door in the wall and let her come and go as she pleased. There was a lamp at the end of the hallway and when she walked by it it would cast the shadow of her head on the wall. Every time she walked by that lamp and it was on she would stop, look at the shadow of her head, walk over and poke her nose to it. You could predict this every time she entered the house. The Deer Shadow Decoy is the lifesize shape of the head and neck of a whitetail deer. It hangs on a string which allows the wind to turn it and it gives the decoy a now you see it and now you don't effect. The movement catches their eye quick and it is obvious that the deer see the decoy as other deer or they wouldn't be calling at it.
The first time I tried the Deer Shadow Decoy I went into a wooded area that had a lot of deer sign and undergrowth from knee to waist high. I hung the decoy on a limb about chest high, walked over about 15 yards and set down at the foot of a tree. About 20 minutes later three doe's came walking straight to the decoy from the top of the hill. They were calling at it. Got about 5 or 10 yards from it and the last doe spotted me sitting at the foot of the tree. She twitched her tail 2 or 3 times and they started easing away from the decoy. About 20 yards out they stopped, one looked back and called at the decoy, then they all walked off. My wife and I went back to the same area a few days later before daylight, hung the decoy over a scrape, we sat down about 15 yards downwind from the decoy in a brushpile. When it started getting daylight I heard a deer call about 85 yards away, then he did it again really loud. I was watching real hard in the direction he called from and about 5 minutes later he was rattling a bush and pawing the ground about 10 yards right in front of me but also downwind of the decoy. I think this deer crawled on his belly to get to the decoy. He was a good buck and we watched him till he heard us whispering. Then he walked downwind of us and it was a loud snort and where did he go. When deer see this decoy the next thing is they want to get downwind and smell it. I've had deer spot this decoy and come walking in like they haven't a care in the world and other times come in stiff legged stomping their front feet as they walked looking plum upset. Either way their curiosity or whatever lures them puts them well within kill zone.
I've tried a lot of different materials to make this decoy out of so it would be easy to carry, durable and waterproof. The Decoys are made out of closed-cell memory foam. This material has been scived on both sides to reduce flashing in the sun. Thanks for your interest and good luck hunting.
Well this is Ray. I bought two of the deer decoys from you, just thought I would let you know I got a 13 pointer last night. He walked up to the decoy like he was in love with her. He never even knew I was there. I even dropped my cell phone while I was trying to get a photo of this .

Deer Shadow Decoys
Guys, I hunt out of state and I love hunting with decoys. A combination of calls with the decoy for visual identification brings the deer in most times. My very first deer with a bow was a 6-point at 15 yards that came in licking his chops after seeing the decoy. This was a month away from the rut. I was looking to try a new decoy this year and I found one on ebay. It's called the Deer Shadow Decoy. They have a website is deershadowdecoys.com. Take a look. I bought one and every time I've see a deer this year it's came to the decoy, bucks and does. The cost around $17.00 each and come in buck or doe version. Take a look. I read the testimonials that people read and wasn't really sure it would work. After trying it this season, I'll be buying them again. For $17.00, it's at least worth a try.
I'm a return customer from last year. I bought two of you're decoys and have I got a story for you. Last year while bow hunting I had one of your decoys hanging at 20 yards from my stand. While sitting down glassing the trails I had an 8 point buck sneak in from behind me. I was using a scent suit and was not expecting them from that direction. I'm not sure what happened next cause I didn't see it, but I heard a branch break behind me so I turned to look and there he was with your decoy stuck to one of his horns. He must have thought it was his competitor and tried to fight it . Now I don't know what was better the fact that he reacted so well to the decoy or the fact that i've never see any thing that funny before. I couldn't even get a shot off. The last I saw of that decoy it was bounding away on his head with his flag waving. I darn near fell out of the stand. I packed up and went home with the most unforgettable hunting experience I have ever had. So to replace that one I am buying another. Thanks again.

My friend you have yourself a great product. The Shadow decoy works like a charm. My brothers used it yesterday and killed a nice buck. They said the buck came out about a hundred and fifty yards and went straight to the decoy.Best of luck with sales it's a hit. trashpile1.
Got my decoy last night so decided to try it out today. Got to my stand which is on the edge of a hay field, which had just been mowed. This means the grass is only about 5 inches tall, no trees to hang it from really. I decided to try something. I broke
off a branch about 4ft tall with forks at the end. I tied the decoy right below the fork and put it in the field by itself. Well about 45 min
later 3 does come out and instantly come toward it checking it out.They leave and a nice 8 point comes out and instantly sees it. He runs over and immediately tries to fight with it. Then it hit me, the forks sticking up made it look like a buck (spike). This decoy really worked, will be using it again tomorrow! Thanks!

I got my decoy on October 7th and used it for the first time last night (October 9th). I was able to turn 2 deer that were heading away from me around and bring them within bow range with this decoy. Sadly I missed the shot, but that's not the decoys fault. Great Product.

I got my Deer shadow decoy on Monday, November 2. My son used it yesterday and killed a large doe. He said she could not keep her eyes off of the decoy, which made it easy for him to draw his bow and killed it with one shot. We have tried full body decoys, but they will scare the deer off sometimes. This product kept the deer looking and trying to figure it out. Pretty amazing. Gerald A..
Hello this is Trey A. (geralds son ) this is the doe i recently killed using your decoy.

I used the decoy. Saw nothing the first time, placed it in a highly visible spot on the second day, and my girlfriend took a beautiful 9-point that came within 5 feet of the decoy and 15 yards from the stand!! This buck and a spike came from the tree line 150 yards away!! I will never hunt without this decoy again!! Jeff, Oklahoma
