Robotic Decoy review

Nice. We have 2 wing spinning decoys that sit on poles and go all the time. We've had the old one for years now and it still goes great and its got a remote so when the ducks fly around we can turn it on/off without leaving the maimai. The new one is very similar except new and needs a new battery after only 2 seasons although the wings spin much faster. We just got a decoy similar 2 the one that features at the 2 minute mark. Haven't tried it out yet waiting for a puddle to form somewhere and some spare time.

Awesome, the ability to turn the wings off is key. I think 🤔

[@AlexHorrell]

@@FR3WY Ya it does help

[@christianhare6133]

What do you think of automatic duck feeders

[@FR3WY]

We have one but never used it. I think the concept is great if you have to travel a bit to get to the pond. I wish they made the whole set up with the drum ready to go at an affordable price so you could buy set and feed in 2 hours

[@brendont1082]

Couple of questions do you use and parrie decoys. Do you get any geese coming in . When you look at the pond from maimai I would have put a big group of decoys on the left down by the trees were ducks normally go to sit and hide and just a few small groups spread along the edge to make it more natural might be part of the reason the birds are flaring

[@FR3WY]

Yes, we put out all our parrie decoys, and we only put out geese decoys because there was a small mob floating around, but yes that is what we try and achieve, but we always get carried away I think at 12pm on Saturday most of the robo duck should come in and leave only the ones on timers no just spining the hole time

@@FR3WY oh cool was just looking to see if any parrie decoys was looking out for the female. Oh just watch mallards don't really like flying over parries I would but in the right side in that little back water. Separate from mallards as they don't really mix to well. Oh reason I ask about geese is they not using pond then looks random to all of a sudden there's geese there to the ducks coming. Yes totally agree with spinners

[@FR3WY]

@brendont1082 we put our parries on the right because that's where they tend to hang out , and yeah I know but worth the rest lol never shot a goose there but I understand that many of these factors can nbe the reason the ducks flared away 😅

[@brendont1082]

@@FR3WY all good just when you where talking about them flaring thought I would give a couple of suggestions to see if that helps you bag a few more and make it better for the kids to get into a few if they follow committing

[@jackpow2260]

The newer motion decoys are great, not a big fan of spinners. The new flocka flickers 2 are much better but don’t self right at all so a pain without waders to put out.

[@FR3WY]

I'll have to check out the flocka flickers. The big thing with old bird is the ability to turn off the spiner once the birds have seen you 😉 or have them on pulse, but some birds are just too smart or know where they are heading already
