Elknut i agree that decoys are not my top choice but they really work good on the bulls that want to hold up and if the bull is hot we don' t usually set it up. The other thing i forgot to mention is that the breakdown is really quick so if you got to leave in a hurry it doesn' t take too much time to grab fold and go. I would think up in idaho might be too thick for these things to really work. I have never hunted id but i have heard that a long shot in the timber is 15 yards.
