I hadn't really thought about it, but yeah,,, Shooting the Merganzers for a week or 2, and THEN putting a fake "me" out there with a simulated 'shotgun' did the trick, 'cause the pair of honkers still come in and are comfortable out there. Like I said, the Merganzers even see a peep of me and they are outta there! Though, since the scarecrow, I haven't seen a single one.
