I would not use those antlers and would use something like a forkhorn or smaller size, perhaps maybe one side only.
Anything can happen, for sure. But a mature buck might see this 'mature' decoy and decide to not engage. It may come in spoiling for a fight. A smaller buck decoy - similar to a jake with a mature gobbler near a hen - may be better, though.

If a single isolated gobble call from a hunter in the turkey woods is enough to make some people tremble with fear for their safety that another hunter may stalk them as a gobbler and shoot them (the hunter), I can't imagine the risk involved with bringing a trophy buck into the woods, with rednecks outfitted with high power scopes on every 40 acres, confident in their ability to make 600 yard shots on a dime I toted a decoy (with the antlers off, and put in my pack) upside down across a field in SE Kansas a couple of years ago. Even during bow season and with orange and carrying it upside down, it still gave me the willies.
