Mojo Duck

[blckduck]

Is a Mojo worth the money? I have used them on the prairies of ND but those are not educated coastal migratory ducks. So whats the verdict from some educated coastal Duck hunters? is it worth it?

[cuhollow]

Yes - if it spooks them later in season quit using it and resort to jerk string if you want.

I'm not much of a duck hunter, but my son is . He invited me to hunt with him one day last year. He had drawn a hunt on public waters. There were 4 other groups on the same body of water. We put out 2 of the MOJO ducks. We shot our limit and the others never fired a shot. We talked to them back at the dock and they did not have the MOJOs. Proved to me that they work.

Don't know about the mojo duck but I have a wind operated one and I don't see much diff. I do have a mojo goose and don't waste your money on it. I've had to turn if off a few times to get geese to finish. I'm a big believer in flagging though.

Mojos are better than sitting on a 100lb bag of corn, they are legal, they will draw ducks that would other wise never ever look at you decoys. phil

Definately worth it, if you can.... go for the one with the remote. But the reg. model is fine, too. Good Luck

Don't reget to get an extra battery and charger.

Thanks, b-day in 3 days.

I just bought one yesterday and used it this morning and I can tell you one thing : Mojos = teal crack. They are completely addicted to the thing. It definately gets the attention of alot of ducks, I just wasnt doing any calling because Im not confident in it yet. Im hunting in Nebraska by the way, but its public land with alot of pressure.

I forgot how much fun duck hunting was. Im glad I decided to pick it back up!

Matt, nice to here of your success, seems the central migration is moving along nicely. Don't get addictited to that mojo, eventually it will start to flair ducks. This is especially true later in the season, and public land.

[MattD]

Oh I know, its just a good tool to use early in the season when the pressure isnt as severe and Im easing myself back into the waterfowl thing. I have no problem pulling the thing out of the water and using pull strings if motion is needed.The great part about being in Nebraska is that we have a good bit of wind which adds great natural motion to the decoys.

There have been an increase in big ducks seen this last week because of the blow up north. Still a ton of teal (both bluewing and greenwing), and quite a few widgeon and gads. Later this week and through the halloween time there is supposed to be below freezing temps in canada and the dakotas which should push quite a few birds down.

I am a huge fan of the mojo. I sometimes hunt with three or four mojos. I hunt on tidal rivers where there is alot of competition, and the mojo seems to help me. Later in the year I think that it will flair birds. Especially geese and Black ducks.

A "jerk string" set-up is another great way to bring'm in if your hutning a pond or still calm backwater area. Cheap too:))

I have the Mojo and it works in the early season of VA. But once they get shot at a couple times, it seems to scare them if anything. I"LL let you in on a scecret, buy a couple wobble butts and H2O magnets and put them in the spread. These things work incredible and are cheap and easy to use. That new wonderduck that sits on the water and flaps its wings in the water looks like that thing would be a killer with a nice decoy spread.

If anyone has used one, let me know how it works?

I bought two of the magnum H2O magnets last year and they pretty much stunk for me. There is a lot of movement with them but the batteries would run down in no time and the little plastic arms that held the batteries in place would break off and whenever you throw them out again the batteries would come out without the plastic peices. Complete pain in the butt. I got the mallard machine this year so I can't wait to use that. Tried it twice during the early season. I hunt in tadal areas so there is a current that you have to deal with so you need to come up with a way to anchor it. There is no anchoring point on it so you just have to tie a line to it. Works great until the line gets caught in the prop and clogs it up. I think I have fixed that problem so we shall see once the season comes back in. Oh yeah, Love the mojo!!

[blanchard jb]

I have only hunted with the mallard machine a few times. I do not own one but friends do. It looks awesome, but it also looks to be a pain. let me know how it works in the current.
thanks

[EHOIV]

Wiill do. Hopefully the ducks will be around to try it out on.

Look at the extended forecast, looks good for the virginia opener. Extended forecast are to good to be true though
