I always look forward to our antelope archery hunt here in Alberta. Unfortunately, it's not something that happens very often, but I did get drawn this year along with my brother and uncle. We filled two out of three tags and had a blast. Got some great footage to boot. If you've ever used a decoy, you will find this clip entertaining...

That gives whole new meaning to the term "Strap-On".....

Awesome. I thought about doing something similar this year during our bow season in ND.

Great goat.

Congrats.

I like the concept of your "decoy", but you couldn't pay me to put that thing on and walk around in goat country. With no orange or anything to show that you're a human, that is just asking to get shot.

Thanks for sharing !!!

i guess that would be ok in Alberta....


lets try that with a deer outfit in PA during rifle season!!!

I wouldn't be scared to wear it in an archey only hunting unit.


Thanks for the idea

If the world were a perfect place, I would agree, but poachers don't care where you are or what equipment is required in certain areas.

Awesome!!!!!

Each to their own

Thanks for the comments. I wouldn't wear it in rifle season, either, and I don't think deer are curious enough to fall for this get up the same as antelope.

I think that one accepts the same risk whether they are wearing the decoy or hiding behind one.

I think that was awesome! Talk about ingenious. You Canadians are crafty buggers ain't ya.........by the way , my 2 year old son's birthday party is next week , are you for hire?J/K

I really enjoyed the video... It seems like a ridiculous tactic but in the plains hunting pronhorn during bow season, I see no danger... no more than carrying a 2d decoy.

Did you make the costumes? I would love to try one next year on my yearly trip out west.

I know a guy that uses an Cow Elk hat and has called in dozens of bulls with it. Put it on at the appropriate time and here they come.

We did. Just painted up a taxidermy form, cut it off at the neck, stuck it on a hat and made some horns 'n ears. It's kinda like Hillbilly Hunter meets Martha Stewart.:laugh:

 

[kzz1king]

Cool!! Costumes homemade or available commercially?
