Does anyone use this decoy?
I am looking into buying one due to the low cost and apparent effectiveness.
I have a Jack-in-the-box
just wondering your input on this one....
A friend of mine bought a WW and we used it one day. I watched a coyote lock onto the decoy, charge it and then I heard the coyote bite the decoy. He didn't escape with the decoy though. My hunting partner gave the coyote a 58 gr. V Max for breakfast from his 243. The only drawback that I've seen with the WW is that it seems to be a bit hard on batteries. I built my own decoy that is similar to the WW from a bluejay lawn ornament. It has worked well on coyotes too. MI VHNTR
haha
I'll let you know if mine survives when I get it
=)
Check out Sportsmans guide. They had them at a closeout price of 9.99 awhile back.
My experiance is I have had way more run off after first seeing the WW than I have had coming into shooting range. I just don't use it anymore.
I've used one and I love it.
Inexpensive, easy to tote around, and very effective. :eyebrownod:
I have one and have only had a owl swoop down and try to fly off with it, no luck with the yotes . The thing is extremely hard on batteries ! I have thought of a industrial energizer but they cost so much to play one out on one set its not worth it.
Ya know what I do?
Almost all digital camera now days recommend the lithium batteries. When my lithiums get low enough to hinder the camera performance I throw them in the Whirlin Woodpecker. :eyebrow:
They'll last several hours of on and off hunting. It's amazing how much juice is left in them even after the camera say "uh uh" :nono:
I used to give them to the kids for their stuff, but when I realized how long they were lasting them after I was going to toss them I started using them myself also.
The WW is my favorite independent decoy. I like it a lot. Battery life sucks with regular batteries but I use rechargeable batteries in all my digital cameras anyway so have plenty. Standard batteries work for one stand the rechargeable battery last 2 stands and I change it.
It is small and easily toted in the field. When it comes to cats it has no equal to any that I have used so far.
Somebody is offering to sell two WW for the price of one on PM. Outfoxed Products.

I dang near bought one of those a year or so ago. Some guy had a 5 dollar price tag on it. I was broke and had to walk on. Man I am still kicking myself over that one.
