Montana Decoy Company The Freshman Buck Deer Decoy 37" x 48" Folding

The Montana Decoy Company The Freshman Buck is a folding whitetail deer decoy built to imitate a young buck with attitude. Staged with its ears pinned back in an aggressive posture, The Freshman Buck draws territorial responses from dominant bucks during the rut, giving bow and rifle hunters a proven visual tool to provoke close encounters with pressured target bucks.

Engineered by Montana Decoy Company for fast, packable setup, the decoy folds flat and pops to full size in seconds with the included ground stakes. The silhouette unfolds to a commanding 37" x 48" profile and packs down to a flat 20" x 13", slipping easily into a backpack for run-and-gun hunters. Total weight with poles is just 35 oz, light enough to pair with a second decoy without bogging down your kit.

The Freshman Buck works alone or paired with Montana Decoy's Estrus Betty doe decoy. A young buck guarding a receptive doe creates exactly the kind of territorial conflict that pulls a mature buck in for a closer look, and the pairing can be staged to fit pre-rut, peak rut, or the locking-down phase. Whether you are setting up on a scrape line or hanging a stand overlooking a food source, The Freshman Buck gives you a credible look-alike to anchor your setup.
