On a similar note, I have thought about putting a dummy in some of my stands...

Treg, you`ll find the dummy in the stand works. Designing one that moves with the wind(arms,head etc.) is very effective for getting them used to movement. An old farmer I knew hunted for years from a tractor seat nailed to a tree stump. Stump was in the middle of a mature woods with a thick canopy and very little undergrowth, no cover. He would place a dummy in seat right after every shotgun season. Seemed to be a ritual, opening morning of shotgun season, right after daylight, you`d hear Mr. Clarks shotgun bark. I learned alot from that guy. As far as smell goes, deer, especially doe`s and the young are very curious. They would probably be able to be fooled after awhile of leaving worn clothes in an area but I don`t know about that trophy buck. May force him out of the area all-together
