Decoys: Flocked decoys and Mojo decoys for field and water

Decoys show pigeons, crows and ducks that your spot is safe to land. Flocked decoys and Mojo decoys help you build a convincing spread.

Decoys: A spread that invites them in

Pigeons, crows and ducks land where others of their kind are already sitting. You can use this flocking instinct with decoys. A well set spread on the field or on the water signals food and safety and brings birds in close to your hide. That makes decoying far more predictable and also helps when crows or pigeons are damaging freshly sown crops. With a little practice you will soon learn which pattern works best on your ground.

Flocked and true to life

Flocked decoys have a soft, matt surface that does not shine. From the air, that looks far more natural than smooth plastic. You will find crow decoys as full bodies or with wings, the flocked hooded crow and pigeon decoys as shells, full bodies or with wings. Shells stack neatly to save space and are quick to set out. Mixing several postures in your spread makes the group look lively and relaxed, just like a real flock feeding in peace.

Movement with Mojo

Movement catches the eye straight away. Mojo decoys such as the ES King Mallard, the Mini Mallard, the Teal or the Spoonzilla bring the spread on the water to life with spinning wings. For pigeons there are the Voo Doo Dove, the ES Dove and the Wind Dove, which moves even in a light breeze. Flock a Flicker and Live Action Kits create ripples and wing beats across a whole group. You will also find batteries, the ES Multi Remote Kit and predator decoys such as the Super Critter.

Frequently asked questions

How many decoys do I need for pigeons?
To start with, eight to twelve pigeon decoys plus one moving decoy are often enough. Set them facing into the wind and leave a landing zone free in the middle.

Are moving decoys allowed everywhere?
Rules on battery powered decoys differ from country to country and sometimes between regions. Check with your local hunting authority what is permitted on your ground before you use them.

How should I store Mojo batteries over the winter?
Charge them to about half before the break and keep them somewhere cool and dry. Charge them fully before the next season and they will last a long time.

Decoy spreads for pigeons, crows and ducks

Birds prefer to land where others of their kind are already sitting. With decoys you recreate exactly that picture and bring pigeons, crows or ducks in close to your hide. Flocked crow and pigeon decoys look especially natural from the air thanks to their matt surface, and shells are light and quick to set out. Mojo decoys with spinning wings add movement, whether as a duck by the bank or as a pigeon on the stubble. Live Action Kits and Flock a Flicker set a whole group in motion. Matching batteries, a remote control and predator decoys complete your setup. Set the decoys facing into the wind and leave a free landing zone in the middle, and the birds will come in exactly where you want them. A well hidden hide and keeping still do the rest, so you can take your shot calmly as the birds commit to land.
