Post by: saylean on December 20, 2008, 09:44:21 AM: I use a coyote decoy (looks like a yote, with a tail that moves if it catches the wind) and I use a feather bundle I created ...

but so far not luck with those...although I have only used them like 3 times. I have had more luck using no decoys, than using decoys...

Post by: Gutpile on December 20, 2008, 12:26:07 PM: I have several. In sept I use a fawn decoy and this time of year I use a Coyote decoy and a mojo fuzzy critter (or something like that), I have also made one out of some old fly tieing supplied. I've heard the feather on a dowel works well but have never tried it.

MOJO: I REALLY like this decoy!!!! Compact batteries last forever. Highly recommend.

I'm a real believer. If they have something to look at there's less a chance they'll see you. All of the coyotes I've called this year were glued to my decoys and didn't see me till it was too late. They can be a hassle but they are worth it. I refuse to buy those giant ones that you can't stow away though. Jack in the Box comes to ,ind. I'd love it if they had a much smaller version.

Post by: Gutpile on December 20, 2008, 12:39:11 PM: I'd be very very carefull with that coyote decoy though. I'm wary that some yahoo will start shooting at it and hit me. I put it well away from me were if someone does shoot at it I'd be out of the line of fire. I wouldn't even use it at all on public ground

I think you got hosed on that one from Cabela's. It looks identical to this one from Walmart.

Post by: SpokaneSlayer on December 20, 2008, 07:23:53 PM: I didn't actually get it from Cabela's. They were on sale at Sportsmansguide.com for a lot less. That one at Wal-Mart looks like it could work though. Good find.

Post by: tlbradford on December 22, 2008, 05:08:00 PM: +1 on the Mojo Critter. With any decoy I like intermittant (sp?) movement. It really conserves the batteries.
