Depends on what you consider a success. If it is to get some trail cam pics of him, (mostly at night) then yes. If he keeps coming back and there is no fight to be had, or a doe to be bred, then he will just stop returning. Have tried off and on using mock ups since the 1970's, and they never worked for me, or alot of other guys I've talked to over the years. Just a waste of time in my opinion. But it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. You may gain some valuable knowledge that will serve you down the road.
