Title: Elk decoys
Post by: judojudd on August 03, 2012, 11:44:44 AM: I know there are a lot of you that have voiced your opinion about elk decoys. It seems that most commenters are not sold on their necessity.
I want to try one. Any of you dissatisfied elk-decoy-users interested in selling one?

:yeah: :yeah: I have had a few bulls hang up just out of range numerous times, I am sure if a decoy had been there he would have commited to at least another few steps, the few steps that I needed!!

This after I sent an email to Montana Decoys asking them why they discontinued that line (haven't heard back from them).
READY FOR SEPTEMBER!!
