Congrats on your drawing of a moose permit.. I drew a tag up here last year.. What I have found out is what type of call makes a difference to what part of the season you are hunting.. I..E. Meaning that here in mid Sept. the bulls are fighting each other over teritory and will come out to a bull call or even a coffee can. Sometimes they will answer and only come part way out. That is when a small paddle or a stick can be used to draw them the rest of the way out. Just do not hit the bushes for to long of a period.. During our October hunt a cow call will work best. This is because the moose are traveling with cows then and you need to have the bull think there is a cow out there that wants to breed. This is about the only way to move him out away from the cow/cows he is with. So alot of folks here do not get to fill thier tags during our October hunting season. I can not say very much about the decoy as I have never saw any being used.. Good Luck to you..
