Whitetail Buck by Montana Decoy

The Freshman, a deer decoy designed to mimic a young buck with a big attitude, offers a compelling hunting experience. When dominant bucks encounter the decoy, with its ears back and aggressive posture, paired with a small body and a modest antler rack, they instinctively rush in to defend their territory.

Crafted to be the most packable buck decoy on the market, The Freshman utilizes high-definition (HD) photography to achieve an unparalleled level of realism. After use, the decoy can be easily washed, air-dried, and stored in a scent-safe bag, effectively concealing its presence from the keen senses of the buck. Maintaining the decoy's scent-free state is much simpler compared to larger, bulkier models.

Weighing a mere 35 ounces and folding down to a compact size of 13" x 20", The Freshman is effortless to transport and deploy. This decoy can be used on its own, inviting a direct challenge, or in conjunction with one of Montana Decoy's doe decoys to further irritate and draw in territorial bucks within bow range.

From the manufacturer's perspective, the "Theater of the Woods" becomes increasingly engaging as elder bucks race to put this youthful deer decoy in its place. The Freshman, with its characteristic ears-back and aggressive posture, is designed to provoke a challenge from its intended targets. Versatile in its application, this decoy can be used independently or alongside a Montana Decoy doe to lure in territorial bucks.

The Freshman's compact design allows it to fold flat for easy transport and storage, and it can be quickly set up to its full size in seconds. For enhanced spot-and-stalk performance, the decoy can be paired with the Montana Decoy Quickstand (sold separately). The use of HD photography of a real buck ensures the ultimate level of realism, effectively eliminating the need to carry bulky, cumbersome plastic decoys.

Notably, the Freshman's posture and size create a sense of challenge without being overly intimidating to mature bucks. This strategic approach helps prevent the bucks from "hanging up" when faced with calling and rattling techniques, ultimately improving the hunter's chances of success.

In summary, the Freshman deer decoy offers a compelling and versatile hunting experience. Its realistic design, compact portability, and effective posturing make it a valuable asset for hunters seeking to lure in territorial bucks within bow range.
