-: I think the biggest achilles heel
to early season duck hunters
or tail hunters is if they don't have motion,
we're in a complex of thousands of acres of,
of rice production.
We picked this levy out
'cause the bird's been working the zone.
But what that motion does is it creates an X
that brings them in tight and close.
And you can't, I mean, live ducks move, decoys aren't live.
But when you put a motor
and put some motion to it, it changes the cane. Would,
-: Would it be permissible
to have a little educational tip here?
-: Yeah. Mr. -: We love a tip. We're
-: Here with Mr. Motion
-: Himself.
-: 'cause I'm gonna steal this tip. Skip.
Don't tell anybody, but whatever
Terry says, I got a number two
-: Pencil.
I wrote this little short article.
It says, is a spinning wing decoy a motion decoy?
It says no. Well, maybe it could be. It does move.
But no, it's a mistake for hunters to call a spinning wing,
decoy a motion device.
-: Oh. -: Because if it's properly operating,
you don't hardly see the motion.
But the strobe that it produces, you know,
can be seen much farther than what we call simple motion.
This is simple motion right here, right now.
Ducks are said to be able to see simple motion three
and a half times better than they can see steel objects.
But they can see that multiple times further than
they can see this.
Right. And so when you start thinking
of a spinning wing decoy as a motion device, then you,
it leads you to use it improperly.
Hmm. What it is is its highest and best use is
and always has been long range of traction,
but in the early years they wanted
to land right on top of it.
Yeah, yeah, sure. And it made people think of it
as a finishing device
and it's not, it can be a finishing device if the ducks
allow it to be a finishing device,
but if the ducks don't, you know, you know,
like when they flare off of it, you don't need
to take it outta your spread.
You need to move it away where it don't bother them. Right.
Yeah. And, and save your long range traction
-: On right on the right
here.
Hmm, hmm,
-: Huh.
Interesting. Hmm.
-: Get him. Oh, they're the best. Oh, come on,
hear him again.
-: Oh my goodness, Rob.
That's a $10 teal right there.
When I saw the, when I saw him getting not hit,
I just decided to wait.
Didn't want to join that nice late one. Jimmy Mack.
-: Here, here, here. Thank you. Good call.
I think the biggest thing I've seen down here on the teal
hunt, you want
to give the teal in the area a reason to come visit you.
And the spinning product you make,
it sticks out like a sore thumb in a very positive manner.
And as these groups of teal are buzzing around looking
for their buddies, this emulates a flock.
You know, there's teal in front of the blind.
I, I think it's incredible.
I I've used it ever since you brought it to market.
I, I believe in it 100%.
And like you, like you said, read
what the ducks are telling you.
They're not finishing mo like a lot
of guys don't wanna move their decoys.
That's a big mistake. Mistake. They don't wanna get
-: Outta the line.
-: No. You wanna see what the ducks, the ducks will tell you
what they'll tolerate and then you just a adjust to
that and have a great day.
-: No, I'm guilty of often not adjusting my decoy spread
when the wind shift and everything. And you have to,
-: We say over and over again is if you're not doing
what you want to get out and change something,
if you don't know what to change,
just change something right.
And watch the effect of it.
You know, and the more you hunt,
the better you'll get at making a better guess.
Just like that at
-: Nice shot.
Three, three to the right.
Come on. Here we go. Here we
-: Go guys.
Oh, that was a beautiful pirouette.
-: Delicious PI just love speed steel is just munching 'em
up, baby munch 'em up.
-: Well it worked out just like they said it would.
You know, the morning was, was slow
because this gigantic moon we've had, we were warned
and then the evenings have been better.
I'm always a dawn patrol duck hunter.
But if it's gonna be baking hot evenings, as long
as we see some action, it definitely was was better.
-: Incredible. The thing that was really incredible about
tonight, they were coming 360 on the hole.
There was no wind to direct them.
They were coming from the right, the left behind you,
wherever it was.
-: Incredible. Teal are gonna humble you.
And that was a pretty humbling experience.
-: If Nolls on fire,
come on old time.
