Although the pictures are of a pop-up turkey decoy the process is the same. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the pop-up moose decoy.
The attached pics are of my DIY pop up turkey decoy. A pop up Halloween pumpkin serves as the body, head, wings and tail are add-ons.
Parts list for a Pop-up Moose Decoy:
1 pop up hamper

This is the rump and hind quarter

This is the front quarter
1 pop up cat tunnel

This is the neck
5 pop up trash bins

4 will form the 'legs' and 1 forms the head
The ears and tail are 'add-ons', the hump is extra padding, poles to hold the decoy up are whatever you wish, I used plant hangers from the dollar store.
Hope this helps, good luck building your own, if you need help, contact me making a comment below.
I have been inventing, designing, my own gear for years, not having much luck, breaking into the business end of things.
Good luck, good hunting,
Robert Haggerty
Editors note: If anyone make one of these pop-up moose decoys be sure to send in some pictures.

Cool website, nice to see others that consider the moose as a majestic creature. We are going to park the quads this year and use the boat, get away from the others. Will let you know if it is a successful hunt.
