MONTANA DECOYEichler Elk

This Decoy really works! On our recent archery rut hunt,We were trying to work our way to a 365+ bull that we knew bedded down in a drainage.I was cow calling And carrying the decoy in front of us as we moved through the country.Suddenly I noticed a 4x4 bull on the hillside in front of us looking at us through the trees. I told the two guys with me to stay behind me and the decoy so as to not bust the bull out of there.We moved down the drainage to get away from the bull as we were not interested in him. As we came out of the drainage and rounded the next hillside there the bull was again! The bull continued following us, 60 to 80 yards out, up that hillside as we worked our way to where the bigger bull was bedded. Any true hunter knows that game run from hunters, they don't follow you! His senses Truly were fooled by the calling and the decoy,he thought he had himself a girl friend!

This looked so good in the woods, that a hunter put a bullet hole thru it and "killed" it. Lol However one of the pole "channels" wasnt sewn properly, so the pole flip flopped all over, making it hard to keep the elk head properly positioned.

Just put up my new decoy and can’t believe how real it looks and the hight of it , it’s spot on . I took me not even two minutes to set it up and two minutes to take down an fold it up , can’t wait to set her up in a month on my elk hunt.

These work great as long as there is no wind, got a nice 6x6 to close in on all 3 of my decoys from 600 yards out to 150 yards, the wind kicked up and moved these dec’s and he spooked, still shot him. My partners used my decoys for the rest of the hunt and had success as long as there was no wind to excessively move the Decoy

this rating has not been evaluated by actual elk at this point. I think it looks good, will be easy to pack and seems to set up in a heartbeat. Looking forward to seeing how the elk react this fall. I may revise the review after elk season if I get conflicting opinions from the elk.

Good decoy as it packs down and sets up easily.

Decoy is super realistic. Openings where stakes enter the decoy could use some more sewing so they are easier to insert, especially in the dark. Will also need to be careful with the stakes in hard or rock ground.

Very easy to carry in my back pack. Easy to set up. Or even quicker just hang with clips it comes with onto a branch.

Exactly the same one you'd buy at a hunting store

I live in Canada and late fall is impossible to push leg poles in the ground.

Light, easy to use, fast to set up, looks like an elk!! It’s perfect!
