Well maybe it's not the new best thing? I may get one and try it out. The video they had on it really showed the big birds didn't care for it to much and would come right in for a fight.

The premise is that it will insite the bigger birds in for a fight. The long Red neck is a sign he is ready to fight. The videos looked pretty impressive where the other Tom's went right for him and did not pay much attention to the other hen dec. Kind of the skinny guy at the bar thinking he can whip everyone else! grin

I have a friend with one and has zero success with it. Junk IMO. Agreed with the DSD, Avians, etc its tough beating them. However their price tag is ridiculous. I wanted new decoys this spring and bit the bullet on some Avians. We shall see if they earn their keep in my bag.

bought a DSD hen last year... live hens were constantly coming up and picking fights with it. You talk about the best call you can carry... it's a decoy that pi$$es off a hen to sound off! The Tom's come unglued!

I did pick up the Avian Jake this year. Thinking I may have better luck with that if the Tom's are henned up.

Good Luck!

I ordered one last night and will hopefully have it by Thursday when my season kicks off. I generally buy one deke a year to build up my supply but I also bought a Primos b- mobile Tom as well. Not many birds where I hunt and I really want to get my 12 YO son a bird as he has been hunting since he was nine and has yet to get a shot at one.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
