Odd Idea

Lol,  I think your over thinkin, just alittle.   Sounds like a lot of work to me.  Just get out there and get lots of stands in!

You're telling me you don't want to disguise yourself as a wounded deer, draw in a coyote, and then kill it with a spear when it makes a move?  C'mon.

Ok, Tim Wells.......lol, have at bro.  Nice idea, but probably very unlikely it’s happen.  You’ll freeze your balls first.

I used a red hankerchief to toll an antelope in.

use a white one for your next caribou hunt

I saw a guy working with Steve Rinella do this successfully with a white mesh bag, they brought one that had decided to run back in with just flagging.

This would probably be the result eventually, unless you did some kind of custom blaze orange and reflective one-off job. 

I bet it would work like gangbusters though if you could eliminate the dangers of being shot, I don't think it's an accident that basically every indigenous culture makes a big deal out of dressing up like and acting like animals as part of their hunting rituals.

Read an article about Les Johnson a few years ago. Said he wears white gloves while calling and they act like a decoy.

I really doubt you could do it with a spear.

Put on a deer mask and gloves, cover yourself in blood and drag yourself through the woods while making a distress call. If a coyote runs up then pull out a handgun.

Might work but in some areas you could get mauled by a cougar or bear. I'd probably want a backup shooter.

Is it a good idea? Probably not but would make a hilarious video.

Lol!  That's what I'm screaming!  I mean it would be insane, and a pain in the ass, and you'd have to work at it for a year, and you really might die trying this, but can you imagine how amazing that video would be?

I would love to see a bow hunter go full indigenous, put on deer skin and antler garb, and sidle up alongside some deer and then zap it as it's standing 20 yards away just as confused as it can be.  I'd watch that video over and over.  I'm confident if you learned the moves it could be done.

Hell, you could just do it where you record yourself throwing off the deer costume when the predator approaches, and just make a montage of predators looking as confused by your bizarre human magic as they could.  I can just see the bear in my mind's eye, stopping short as the deer somehow disappears and is replaced by a human, staring confused.  It would be wonderful.

LOL, would love to see the video of someone trying that with a Bobcat,

So did you try it?

I think I’ll stick to looking like things other humans aren’t particularly interested in shooting for now, keep it in my back pocket as a plan H, but I may try the concept in a limited way.

I’m considering incorporating some of the concept into a pair of gloves or even my rifle, so that should I be spotted getting on target, the reaction might be interest rather than panic.  It’s worth a try anyway.  If it works out I’ll let you guys know.
