Doe Decoy Setup, Getting ready for the Whitetail Rut!

[Haymaker]

Here's a cool setup I put up today and I thought I would share it with you guys. This is an application using the RF Video system I put together this spring. The video camera will be triggered by the remote wireless X10 motion sensors. The camera is a Sony MiniDV camcorder and will be setup to record in full color from the camera lens during the day and switch over to a IR video camera, which will tell the Sony camcorder to switch into VRT mode (like a VCR) at night.

I have the camera setup high in a tree mounted with a security camera mount. This way I can cover a better angle to see what's going on below. I'm using a Flambeau Doe decoy and I stuffed a couple of cotton balls filled with doe scent between the leg mount on the decoy. I also put in a mock scrape. There are 2 X10 sensors to cover a wide sensing area.

I'll post some video clips if I get anything cool here.

Just keep an eye out for those bulldozers.

As close as I could find to a bulldozer!

Well I'm happy to report this setup worked like a charm. In a few days of having the decoy setup I had a buck come in a check her out. The RF aspect of this setup couldn't have worked better too. The wireless remote sensors picked up the motion before the deer came into view so the tape as rolling before the buck walked in. This way it captured all of the action.
