Happy to hear this worked for you. Reviews seem to be 50-50.


Ditto. The birds aren't dummies and with some they will figure out the decoy is not real. And I have seen more than one on a pond so they must not always be territorial. I would say it's imperative to at least keep moving the decoy around.


Now here again this could be improved. If the decoy had a swinging neck and head like a bobble head that would move with the wind that would make it look much more real. Or had a mechanism that you could set to make the birds neck move down towards the water every 10 minutes or something you could put the battery compartment in the body of the bird. It would just need a little movement and I think it would work much better!!

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
