Be super cautious if you are using decoys. I even avoid wearing black during hunting season. I just don't want to be mistaken for a moose - by another moose, or another hunter.

I still remember hunting with my father-in-law, and I was wearing my new black coat. We stopped for a rest on a cutline, and then I see that he was looking past me, back in the direction we had just come from. He casually stated, "You know, if that bull moose decides to have his way with you, you're on your own." I turned around, and noticed a nice bull, looking longingly at me.

I started buying camo after that!
I used something similar; just cut it out of 1/8" plywood myself with a jigsaw.

But never got the chance to use it that year as I didn't get out hunting for Bulls that much. But really light weight and easy to throw in a backpack to keep concealed from other hunters until the moment you need it. Remember, Moose don't have the greatest of eye sight, so you need to close the distance before holding it up.
