kitchrat Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Magnum decoys if you use them, if you do, how well do you think they work, compared to others. Mick, I've had 6 of these this winter and used them about a dozen times, mixed with 12 normal flocked shells and a magnet with real birds, plus real birds when I get some. I've not really had enough birds coming in to test whether they are better or worse but can say that the birds I HAVE seen, have, in general, decoyed quite well, but not fully committed. I get them coming, then they decide "Thanks but No Thanks" when 50-70 yards out. No real panic,(except when they see me pointing a gun at them) just "No Thanks" It could be my pattern, the mixture of decoys or the magnum shells themselves. I suspect they are actually magnet aware but I need the magnet to get their attention in the 1st place. That I have tested. As ever, REAL birds work best Not much help really but my guess is that they are no better and no worse than normal flocked shells, just take more room when carrying them!
