I think what is being overlooked here including by myself is how guys are calling bulls? I don't shoot cows so those are out of the equation. Too, I'm calling nearly every bull in with bull sounds, I use very few cow sounds! For myself a decoy doesn't do much, I've carried one off & on for many years & have yet to use it. My Son & I have put 63 elk down, not a single one was with the use of a decoy. It's all about setup for us. Setups can make you or break you! Good luck!
