Default RE: Montana Decoys

These decoys are a little hard to set up fast. And you know how fast things can get if the bull is really coming. The one that i have wich is the broadside one is a little bigger than i would like but well woth carrying. I have put some looped fishing line on the head and hind area wich will loop to a limb in a hurry or i have made some stakes out of carbon arrow blanks that i keep in the quiver the stakes that you get with these are a little bulky and heavy and don' t really need them unless you are out in semi open country with wind. The loops get used most of the time even if i get time to set up. The spring type outline like your car windshield cover folds up pretty small and the only thing you have to watch is that you don' t put a permanent bend in the head cuz it looks pretty weird. they don' t weigh much and probably only take seconds to put up unless you use the stakes and then probably under a minute. Like i said earlier i loop some fishing line thru the top and usually make 3-4 loops so if one cinches down there are others to use and always have some extra line with me. If your really handy sew some eyelets on these it keeps the material from running after you stick it with a few holes. Good luck let me know how they wortk for you this season.
