    Abstract: A stuffed human decoy and methods for making and using the human decoy are described. The stuffed human decoy (e.g., dummy, mannequin) is designed to be placed in a blind or tree stand and serves to take the place of a hunter so that, when the hunter is absent, the presence of the human decoy conditions wild animals (e.g., deer) to the presence of the hunter. The human decoy also serves as a trespassing tool to deter another hunter from coming too close to the hunting area of the hunter. The human decoy resembles the shape of a human and can be constructed of lightweight camouflaged weatherproof material. The human decoy can include one or more pairs of mating hooks and loop patches such as VELCRO that can be used by the hunter to fold the limbs of the human decoy which makes it easier for the hunter to transport the human decoy.
