What's up fellas? I have the mule deer do predator decoy and it seems to do it's job pretty well. Was debating trying the cow elk this year , just to see if it actually gives any type of advantage. I'd think most the bulls we call would definitely come in a little HARDER (hahaha) with that looking at them . Anyone try one ?

No but I've tried the doe. I'm done with decoys and will rely on my other strengths to "git er done" ;)

Good luck and hope it works for you though

You can take mine to use this yr. Only downside for you is she tells me everything like hunting spots etc lol. ;). They do help getting closer for sure and when you normally bust them out. They give you more time to draw and keep them looking a bit longer when you call them in. You have to get use to them on your bow is the only negative but after a day it's not so bad. Imo I prefer them if I'm on a solo stalk. If were partnered up we usually have the caller with the decoy and the shooter hidden. I've had some cool experiences with the decoys for sure Anyways shes all yours and ready for a horse ride.

It is hit or miss, I have seen them work, they become curious and come in and i have seen elk just turn tail and run. I no longer mess with them one thing less to deal with when hunting, just me.
