WaterfowlSet out early
Spinning-wing dove decoy
~$45
Issue #10
Doves finish 20 yards closer — the difference between a limit and a box of excuses.
Set it on a stake at the edge of the sunflowers before legal light. Spinning wings pull passing birds that would otherwise slide a hundred yards out.
It is not magic. If you are late, if the wind is wrong, if you are sitting in the open, you will still watch them flare. Used with a few clip-ons and a good hide, it is the cheapest upgrade on the dove line.
Carry spare batteries. The hunt is two hours. The decoy should last three.
