Didn't we see this movie? I think it was called RoboCop.

Poacher Hunters Turn Roadkill Into Robots
The black-tailed buck is doing what deer do, standing beside a rural road on a cool fall evening in northern California. The thrum of tires on pavement rises up in the silence and grows louder as a truck draws near. When the headlights catch the buck, he turns his head, ears twitching, and seems frozen in place by the bright beams. Moments later, a shot rings out. The deer has nothing to fear. It's been dead for months. The guy who illegally shot this deceased ruminant, on the other hand, is in trouble. He just took the bait -- a robotic buck, made from the flesh of a real animal -- in a poaching sting operation.
California Fish and Game warden A.J. Bolton takes part in a handful of these stings each year around Eureka, California. He and his colleagues set up decoys in areas where there have been reports of suspicious activity, such as shots fired in the night, or signs of trespassing.
