electronic decoys
« on: February 15, 2012, 09:53:49 PM »
Per the Spokesman-Review: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2012/feb/15/landers-hunting-rule-proposals-undergo-changes/

Allow electronic decoys to be used for waterfowl hunting. Advice: reject.

This proposal originated from the Waterfowl Advisory Council, which is dominated by guides. The Game Management Council debated the distinction between technology that enhances a hunt and equipment that increases harvest. The council voted 14-4 to reject the proposal because electronic equipment would increase hunter success rates.

Thats too bad, I was thinking that an electric MoJo would have been a nice addition to my spread.

Maybe they should outlaw all decoys if hunter success is a problem?  And all calls?  and probably shotguns too?    :dunno:

I am fine without battery operated decoys. Sucks that we can't use the quiver magnets and shakers, but I make do with pull strings. There are pull string spinning wing decoys available too. The way I.  Look at it- if you are too lazy or uncoordinated to pull a string, should you really be using a 12 gauge? Besides, it is embarrassing to sit in a marsh with the guys next to you running a vortex with four mojos, a couple of teal mojos on the side, three or four bilge pump duck butts throwing water around like a jet pump while their mallard machine creates a two foot wake for their remote controlled swimmer dekes to surf... Damn Potholes will start looking like the Bellagio!

good!  Less trash I will find out there while Im hunting.  Too many slob waterfowlers out there, the same one that leave there spent shells will leave there spent batteries :twocents:

Still kind of weird it is OK with the feds when they have the ultimate say on migratory birds.  Either way to much of one method can lower success as well.  Used the fishing reel spinner and works good in a snowy corn Field if the ducks are using it and doesn't seem to work very well on water attracting ducks.    Just comes down to weather in the end.
Don't read my post if facts hurt your feeling.

A buddy of mine had one of those fishing reel/speedo cable powered wing decoys. worked pretty good. only had to twirl the wings a little instead of the constant motion of the wind kind.  :twocents:
