I can't find a category in the classifieds for decoys, so thought I would throw out a general plea. If this is not appropriate mods, please delete it. As I get ready for my Oct. Moose hut I thought a moose decoy might help. Didn't know if any one had a Montana moose decoy they would like to get rid of, or rent. Since it took me twenty years to draw this tag I don't know if I want to invest the long dollar in a new one.
I can ship you my Mother in Law.....

Sooo... is that just to get rid of your MIL or will she bring in the moose....?
Never heard of a moose decoy, what would that be like to carry in? Or is it a blow up type thingy?
You don't need a decoy. If the bulls are rutting hard enough to respond to a deecoy they will come to you if you just wear black or dark brown colored parka/shirt. We carry a canoe paddle for the antler display and for raking the brush. It can be a little unnerving when they are looking right at you with white all around the eyeball.
Go to a dollar store and pick up a cheap black umbrella. Just open it up and stick it in a willow clump. Keeps you dry in the rain too.
Some good suggestions. My season is the second week of October. So past the main part of the rut in Sept. I am hoping they will still be willing to come to calls. I thought the decoy might help sweeten the pot.
