We tried using them last dove season here in Oklahoma...they certainly didn't hurt and they seemed to help I think...we only had 6 of them, and we only put them on the barbed wire fence in front of us, but it seemed like the guys who had the decoys in front of them got a few more shots...It was hard to tell though because the field we were on was loaded with dove. I am going to experiment with them a little more next year.
