Just watched the video on his website about mounting it. Im thinking that even if I have to stalk an elk with my muzzy pointed up I could make it work. And at the last min point and aim. By that time the elk wont know what hit him. Now trying to reload with it attached to the ram rod could be an issue. Perhaps once I get it I can come up with something that will make it attach and detach pretty easily so I can still use the ramrod
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

You may just be one person in this world. But you may be the world to just one person.

They work on mule deer. I was on a ridge last year and heard something coming up the trail. I deployed my elk decoy and three mule deer buck walked into plain sight , there was nothing between us. They stomped and pranced around trying to figure me out. I drew my bow back twice and let it down, no tag. I ranged them and they were 43 yds.

I finally got up and started towards them to see how close I could get. They took off. I could have easily shot any of the three several times.

What the heck, I've been spending money like wildfire on hunting gear lately so I ordered one too.  Looks to be a good concept. :tup:

Old floppy has worked her but off for ten yrs. I have the montana elk decoy that looks head on. I broke one ear so I didn't look like a alert cow looking ahead. And use it set up behind me and just the head all folded up. Put two nice bulls down and a hand full of cows due to old floppy.

Hmmm wonder if I can hide the charge?
Old enough to know better.
Young enough to go for it.

I've never been much of a decoy guy because hate packing the things, that is until I came across the Poison Gear Decoy, it's lightweight & you don't even know its on your bow. Definitely consider one of them.

Good to see you Paul! Thank you for introducing me to James and his decoy. :)

One more post.  I am running a photo contest, the best photo this next hunting season wins $1000.00. Send your photos to pictures@poisonarrowgear.com

It is for any species and it runs until the 30th of Jan.  It does have to include a Poison Arrow Gear decoy.

Incidentally, I had a slight issue with my order and the response from the owner was immediate. I'm very happy not only with the decoy I got, but with the customer service. I will be recommending Poison Arrow to my hunting friends.  :tup:

My order has shipped but I don't see carrier or tracking information I can follow.  How long did yours take to arrive, Pman?
