I'm not a hunter so this isn't something I've ever concerned myself with. I do know that I've seen a lot of decoys that don't really look much like their animal representations though.

Are Wild Animals Actually Fooled By Game Decoys
Have you ever seen this when you go hunting? Does the same thing happen with bird decoys? I get that they work, otherwise hunters wouldn’t be using them. But if you really look at some of the game decoy options - they aren’t that great if you’re paying attention. Are animals just not perceptive?
