The Freshman (Whitetail Buck) by Montana Decoy

Always works, ready to carry into your stand. Don't bother folding and unfolding. As long as the wind speed is no more than 15mph just plop it in the ground about 30 yds from your stand giving the deer ample space to walk between you and decoy.What these decoys do is basically double, at least, the amount of time deer will stay within range for you and if you decide not to shoot then once you go home you will have been entertained and educated and enjoyed your hunt even more!

This is perfect for long hauls. I used to carry a full sized deke but this is so much easier, looks great, attracts deer and relaxes them in early season. I’m looking forward to seeing how it performs in the rut. Looks great from anywhere I look and is less expensive than a full bodied and cumbersome deke!

nice decoy, easy to open and set up. Not so easy to close.The legs are difficult to manipulate in the wee hours of the morning as the slots are not easy to locate.I would like this MUCH better if it came with some cary bag or easy way to transport the parts.I had a hunter walk up on me in a field and stop to scope out my decoys, they fooled him from 75 yards away...

Quick shipping not the most realistic looking have to wait to see how it works

Light weight, easy to pack in, had several does and bucks come into check it out.

I bought this decoy good and early before season. I wanted something inexpensive to draw a bucks attention so my son would be able to get setup on it without notice. I sprayed with scent remover and left it out in nature for a couple weeks. Folded it up morning of hunt and strapped it to my pack. Easy peasy. Once we got to our stand( on a timbered openridge I set it up about 40 yards out facing us, as the deer had to move from our left or right and not so much heading straight at us. They could sneak behind us and miss it due to its 2D shape.We had a 5 point come in and catch sight of it. It's a very submissive decoy. It didn't spook the small buck at all. We let it move on and had a few more bucks come behind us. Not long after a nice 8 point came a good 120 yards completely tuned in to that decoy. He approached with in 50 yards, stopped and inspected, and then started to circle it. It came into a shooting lane and that was the end of him. Worked like a charm and exactly how I wanted. Sold me. I will use it plenty more when the situation is right.

The pictures advertising this decoy look great and the fact that it is light weight and compact is great as well. However when I opened the package up it looked nothing like the pictures advertised. I had expected something with a high definition image on it, "NOT". In this case HD stands for "Huge Disappoint". Don't buy.

I have the Montana Dreamy Doe, so was expecting this to be the same quality only in a buck form. First off color is way off. Frame bends and stays bent when refolding. Clips slip and broke off at first use. Hard to put poles in slots because they’re sewn poorly. Don’t waste your money on this one

I’ve used Montana decoys in the past and had success. This one is just another weapon in my deer hunting arsenal.

Looks great and easy to carry

Cheap and the slots for the poles are not sewn in properly. The clips for holding the fabric move on the pole so it acts more like a kite lol

Have you ever seen a green whitetail deer? Thats basicly what it is. It's not even close to the actual color of a deer.

Item arrived damaged and creased, when ya set it up it’s bent in half
