RMEF Cow Elk by Montana Decoy

Very realistic. We'll see what the elk think of her this Fall.Very light weight, folds up into a small size for carrying.

Product looks great and all parts accounted for however, box was ripped open and the poles were rolling around loose in the Amazon box.

Been elk hunting my whole life. I didn't see any elk this past year, as it was too warm where I was hunting muzzle loader, but the decoy really looks good in the field. Even when the sun shines on it, it doesn't sheen. Easy to put up and take down, and very portable in my pack. My only issue is the plastic clips that connect the cloth legs to the vertical poles. They are flimsy, and if it is cold, they will easily snap. Happened to me in warm weather. Regardless, I'm pretty certain this product is going to make a difference once I get into em...

Laugh all you want, this thing works. Used this along with calls to bring in 2 bulls on separate occasions last year. I guess it adds some legitimacy to the calls in the eyes of an amorous bull. Definitely distracts giving a hunter time to draw and shoot. Honestly, if your hunting on public land you need to set this up behind and away from you. Yes, it’s that realistic. I’ve heard of guys getting shot at by unsuspecting hunters. For spot and stalk, I did away with the support legs to save weight. I estimate the decoy without the legs weighs about 2lbs. I take an extra arrow shaft in my quiver and Shove it in the same path as the legs would go. This supports the head. I then set it up next to a bush. It looks like an elk bedded down. Works great without the extra weight. I’m a believer.

Great graphicsEasy to use

This is very realist easy to pack and assemble. Hope it pulls in a bull for my wife.

I borrowed a friends Montana decoy for my elk hunt and it for sure helped in bringing in weary bulls. They would respond to the call and say out of range but they came in closer to investigate the decoy. I was successful and came home to buy my own. Well worth the extra weight in the pack. It is a little heavier than expected is the downfall I have.

Love the design, weight, looks, etc. Option to just use willow branch for support/legs to save weight packing it is nice. The legs weigh more than the decoy. Opened it up and carefully followed directions to put it back in its stored position with someone helping. The clamp/bracket holding the internal wire/structure ends together spread open and the wire separated. Just cheap not strong material for bracket as I could feel the seem and how is separated. New one I will verify it is clamped down tight before using. Amazon awesome on the return/replacement so will see how it goes. Will update review after I get the replacement and use it some. UPDATE: IT BROKE ALMOST INSTANTLY AS I WAS TRYING TO TWIST IT BACK TOGETHER!!! MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AND THIS ONE HAD A CLAMP ALREADY LOOSE AND NOT CONNECTED MOVING AROUND INSIDE THE FABRIC.

Elk is very realistic. It sets up in a flash as well as the take down. The one I bought here came out of the box and broke. The little coupler snapped which holds to two ends of the spring steel together so I took it apart and welded it together with my MIG welder. Welding spring steel usually doesn't work so good because it hardens the hell out of it so I decided to email the Montana Decoy Company about what happened. The President of the company emailed me back a day later and offered to send me a new one which I thought was going above and beyond what most businesses would do. Excellent customer service with people who stand behind the things they sell. I'd recommend buying one of these decoys. Fooled my dogs too!

Handy, light, easy to pack up.

Product came exactly as I expected
