Decoys work during hunting if you’re willing to put up with the extra gear. But if you prefer leaving as much heavy stuff behind as possible, go for scent attractors or electronic predator calls instead as these are easier to bring along. The great thing about an electronic call is that you can set up the speaker where you need the predator to go then set yourself up to where you plan to wait.

Some electronic predator calls have remotes that work from as far as 50 yards or 150 feet away. They can produce realistic sounds that will draw your prey for a closer look. Having this device gives you the ability to manipulate game sounds. When deer hunting, for instance, find calls that include buck grunts, snort wheeze, rattling antlers or a doe bleat.
