I'm getting excited already for my Wyoming elk hunt this fall and I haven't even been drawn for the tag yet! (But I've applied and previous years the tag I've applied for has been drawn at 100% success with 1 prefrence point and I have one!)
I'm going with a friend who lives in Powell and they have had pretty good success in the past hunting some wilderness area in late September during the rut. I need to get a cow call for sure but was wondering if one of the portable decoys actually would help or not. I was thinking that I would buy one and give it to him at the end of the hunt as a thank you.
Has anyone used these for rifle hunting during the rut? Which one would be the best to get the profile or the rump or facing view ones?
We will be hunting with 2 or 3 guys, would it be better to get a couple decoys?
Not sure if the decoys really are needed or not for rifle but I was thinking they might not hurt. The area we will be hunting in is very thick and sometimes even with a rifle your shots are 40 or 50 yards.
What do you think?
Thanks, Nathan
