Is a Montana cow elk decoy really worth it?
« on: July 10, 2012, 11:06:22 AM »
There is a side profile and rump profile of a cow elk made by Montana decoys.  What is your personal experience with these silhouettes?

I have never had any luck with them in my tree stand, but always wondered if it would allow you to walk up on elk close enough to get a shot ( by using them as a sheild)??

You'll get no argument from me--I'm a sucker for camo, calls, and decoys.  They work, but not always for what you are looking to lure in....  :chuckle:

If i spent the 100 bucks or whatever they cost now and it worked one time I'd consider it money well spent.

Check out these while you're at it.  I had the Montana Decoy but it was not good for packing around - Rigid Plastic and big - ended up not using it.  These are photo fabric with metal hoops.  Never seen one in person though...

Not sure what you're talking about, but your link takes you to the Montana decoy section. They're made of fabric with spring steel. No plastic in 'em.
