A decoy looking like a bird could actually be a dead fence or tree, which you will need to leap over to have a closer look. If you can't tell the difference, use a decoy of a dove instead of a real one.
Doves travel, so it is important to find them in a suitable place. If you want to find doves in your area, look for a tree near their roost. Once you find the right spot, you will be able to move near it and wait until they come down. You'll then be able see the dove leaving and returning.

How to make a Deer Blind

The hunter hides inside the enclosure and waits for the animal to pass by. A deer blind is often used when hunting at night.
There are many types of deer blinds. Some are portable while others are permanent structures. They are often made from metal, plywood, cardboard, plastic, canvas or metal.
The most commonly used type of deerblinds is the box blind (also called box stand), which consists of a wooden box with roof and walls. Because they are easy-to-assemble and transport, boxes are very popular.
A tree stand, another type deer blind, is also available. Tree stands are natural looking so that it is not obvious they exist. Most tree stands are permanently attached with trees.
Ground blinds, similar to tree-stands but built into the ground, are another option. Ground blinds are often camouflaged with grass, dirt, rocks, or sand. Ground blinds are also known as "groundboxes".
There are many ways to hunt deer blinds. One way is to sit still and wait for the animal to approach. You can also try moving around to scare away the animal. You should be quiet and not move too much if this is the method you choose. This could cause the animal to believe you are a predator and make them run.
The first step in using a deer-blind is to choose a location. You should pick a place where the wind won't blow your scent toward the animal. Avoid areas where people frequently hike.
You should also know how to set up the blind properly. This is because you don't want the animal to run away from you.
