FIELD-TESTED REALISM
PACK. IT ALL FITS.
Starting with a single hand-cut decoy, Montana Decoy has spent three decades chasing one idea: building an elk decoy that helps backcountry bowhunters get closer to elk. Watch how a small Montana startup became the name elk hunters trust when it comes to lightweight, realistic decoys.
BUILT FOR THE BUGLE
The visual that closes the distance when a bull hangs up is lightweight, realistic,
and ready to deploy in seconds.
Thirty seasons of chasing realism, packability, and the hard-earned trust of hunters who won't settle. The anniversary is ours - the advantage is yours.

Photo-real imagery and lifelike posture read as the real thing, even to a wary herd bull working the wind.

Folds flat and weighs next to nothing, so it comes with you deep into the backcountry without a second thought.

Deploys in seconds when the moment breaks. No poles to fight, no time lost — just the decoy up and the bull committing.
A lighter, more realistic decoy is born from a hunter's frustration with heavy, stiff gear.
Antelope, deer, turkey and predator join the lineup — same packable, field-proven DNA.
Montana Decoy becomes the name serious elk hunters reach for when the stalk is on.
Partnering with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation to protect the pursuit for the next 30.
I’ve carried a Montana Decoy into some pretty rough country, and the difference is night and day compared to bulky traditional decoys. It packs down small, goes up fast, and looks incredibly realistic. It’s become one of those pieces of gear I don’t head into the field without.
What I like most is how simple these decoys are. No fighting with a giant setup or wondering how I’m going to pack it in. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and does exactly what I need it to do when I’m hunting.
I bought my first Montana Decoy for an elk hunt and honestly wasn’t sure how much I’d use it. After seeing how realistic it looked in the field, I was sold. It gave me another option when I needed to close the distance, and now it’s always in my pack.
These aren’t made to sit in the garage and look pretty. I’ve dragged mine through brush, carried it for miles, and set it up in some pretty nasty conditions. It’s held up great and still looks good. Exactly the kind of gear I want in the field.
The biggest selling point for me is portability. I can throw a Montana Decoy in my pack without thinking twice about the extra weight or space. When I need it, setup takes practically no time. Simple, effective, and well thought out.
I’ve used plenty of hunting gear over the years, but the realism of these decoys really stood out to me. From a distance, they look convincing enough to give you another tool for those tough situations when calling alone just isn’t getting it done.
