Bullkller,

I have never heard of anyone getting shot while using a Montana decoy, but why take a chance while setting up the decoy, I think even in bow hunting you have to be careful, now with some rifle hunters, you have people who shoot first and then see if elk was legal. That's the kind of people that would see the cow decoy and shoot and never notice you sitting off to the side, its that realistic looking.

You will be glad that you purchased one, take care and good hunting.
