Mojo Mallard

Just curious to see what everyone has to say about them. I have two of them and they seem to work better in open water on cloudy days. I tried them in flooded timber last year and had birds flairing like crazy. On the other hand i have had birds land right on them while using them. I guess it depends on the day and the conditions (just like everything else)

i wish i had a mojo mallard

me and chris brought tons of birds in with mine last year at the pond. untill it broke

Never used one in timber, but open water is deadly,,,,,, does yours have painted wings? O r is it bright metal?

Pretty sure they are both painted. I agree that in open water those things are nuts

I was thinking about getting one as well. I saw a couple of different types at Cabelas last week.

The reason I asked the painted ?,,, we had one with bright metal (unpainted) . According to my brother who has used it in timber , it was making to much flash so they painted the wings a dull light brown and it worked well.

The only banded duck I ever killed was in timber with no decoys , no roboduck , nothing light were busting in without circling. The duck was 7 years old , had to be 12-14 lbs. big ole greenhead he was. That was a the best hunt ever ,and the last time I hunted with my father before he passed.

Great Story...I bet that band means soooooo much to you. I have had ducks dive into the timber we hunt as well and sometimes with the decoys it seems like they shy a bit. May have to try painting the wings. Thanks!

I tell ya , it was a great day all around. We went just because we wanted to get out of the house , it was a bluebird day and warm. People dont think I'm tellin the truth about this day. That day we killed a limit of ducks way before sundown and was just sitting around laughing and talking and 3 bucks came running thru the middle of us. One was at the time the biggest I ever saw , he ran within 20-30 yards of me and stopped. There I am with my Browning 12 with freakin birdshot, had we been anywhere but where we were I would have shot him. The Tallahatchie River was 40 yards from us , he would have gotten into the river and we wouldnt ever be able to find him. Needless to say I keep a 30-30 winchester with me when I hunt that spot to this day.

Sorry for ramblin on about that day , but it was a day I wont forget.

i think it depends on the time of day in flooded timber.....late in they day the come in for the night....i think the movement scares them.. why would anyone use this icon....but me
