Title: Foxpro decoys
Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on November 09, 2017, 01:12:54 PM: I recently acquired a Foxpro Scorpion in a trade with one of our members, :tup:
I am interested in adding a decoy, but the only one I can find that is compatible is the "Jack-in-the-Box"
Are there any other decoys that will work?

I quess you could rewire any of them to to use thauxilarry port. I think the auxilary post is basicly an on/off switch but is limited to a pretty light load probly not more than the Foxpro decoy load. I know some that have modified bird decoys to work off the auxilary port.

I like decoys, others hate em, I just leave them running through the whole stand and haven't seen a problem.

I use the mojo critr and the turkey feather on fishing line as well. My feather is on a fishing arrow shaft so I can use it in the open. The only other decoy I have occasionally used is a coyote mount. After a while, unless you are doing predator control or contest you pare down all the crap you carry into the field.
