A large game decoy, including two pieces of fabric material, cut into the shape of a side-silhouette of a big game animal. The two pieces of fabric are sewn together along the periphery of the silhouette to form a pocket. A continuous band of spring steel is formed in a loop and inserted in the pocket. The band being sized to expand to at least a portion of the periphery of the silhouette stretching the fabric material to form a semi-rigid shape of this portion of the silhouette. A collapsible pole is inserted in the pocket to provide an elongate shape to the cut-out silhouette, and further collapsible poles are used to shape the legs of the decoy. These leg poles extend away from the silhouette and are used to stake the decoy into the ground. The decoy may be collapsed by using a technique known as "twist-fold" to twist and fold the continuous band of spring steel to collapse the body into a small compact package.
