Default RE: Motion Decoys

You don't need a mojo when you're hunting. Motorized decoys are recent in the hunting industry; people have been hunting with great success for hundreds of years without them. I will say that however, they do work to your advantage MOST OF THE TIME. If I were to get a motorized duck decoy, I would get one that you could turn off and on remotely. Here is my reasoning:We had a regular mojo mallard out on the past few hunts, and for some reason the ducks had a hard time committing and were flaring frequently. We figured it was the mojo... the ducks could see the mojo spinning, and when they came in, they saw that the mojo was stilltrying to land after they crossed the channel. Theres no way that a duck will hover in the same spot for over a minute trying to land; the birds picked up on this and would flare or just not come in at all. We walked out there, put away the mojo, and it was like miracle work. Walla! The ducks would commit with no problem after that.

I'm saying to get a remote decoy because you can turn off the wings after the birds get to a certain distance. Make it look way more realistic.
