RE: Cow Elk III
I've used them with less success than others. I've used the Rump--The Cow Elk--The Cow Elk-lll------To date I haven't fooled an elk with them yet!! Do they work? Sure they'll work!!
It's just that I've found with good calling and waiting in the same place long enough, interested elk will show up. I like it best when elk come in 10-20min after I've called looking for the elk that made the sounds. This is how we called in my sons bull this year, he took his elk at 14yds with a recurve. A decoy might have worked, but I didn't set it up even though I had it with me!! Go figure!!-------------------ElkNut1

RE: Cow Elk III
I have used horses for decoys.They work very very good. As for the cow elkIII I have not seen them work real good so far.Most the elk I call in are looking and listening for movment not just a elk. I think movement is way better than a good pic of an elk.Tie the horse bake in the woods far enough the elk can not see it unless it walks right by you.Some times just the chewing is enough to get a bull to come to you.You may not even need to call :}

Is not right.It is legel to use a decoy in MT.You can use them for all big game.As for the decoys being frowned on in MT.One of the bigest decoy makers is in MONTANA.
Smoke call up fish and game. They will help you out.From what I know the only real restriction on calling big game in MT. is no electric calls.
