I've put one on a pole about 6 foot tall so it could be seen over the standing sunflowers. They still dove in low. They're coming to land on the ground. What are you trying to get them to do come in to the deke and hover at 12ft?
I have mine on a pole about 10 feet high. Haven't really noticed a difference but I have seen them dive low to the decoys on the ground. I have also seen them dive low without any decoys around. Last year opening day was crazy at the field I was hunting. Very crowded and it seemed most of the birds dropped down low and the crazies were shooting at them.
Just wondering if it would get them lower in the sky, but not to low. This will be setup to try and help kids get better shots. I'm going to try and break my record from last year, 15 doves with 27 shots and 58 mins. Good luck to everyone shooting.
Beadlescomb, Did you notice it helping much. Just looking at ideas to help some kids get better shots.
I won't answer for him, but if you have any birds to begin with and can find a dead tree and rig anything that looks like a dove into it, either stationary or a mojo, load the gun and get ready.
