 Home made Action Decoy
Made this decoy with parts from local hardware store for under a 100$ total. Any opinions or feed back on if it will work let me know. Thanks

If I can't see it I'm sure the ducks can't .

 Re: Home made Action Decoy
Agreed I never seen ducks shoot water out their ass but I have watched ducks in ponds while deer hunting and they can make a lot of noise and splashing. Mostly just trying to get some action in the water on calm days. It has a remote now so I will be able to turn it off when the ducks get close.

 Re: Home made Action Decoy
I like it! I never seen a duck hover with spinning wing for three hrs either but it draws them in. I bet it works great!

 Re: Home made Action Decoy
Looks ok. I just have issue with it looking like it is a fountain attraction. Movement does work though. Good job.

 Re: Home made Action Decoy
Why not angle discharge back down behind decoy?

 Re: Home made Action Decoy
I'd recommend cutting the PVC so the capped end is closer to the decoy and down at the water level, as the decoy moves the spray is interrupted giving it a random spray. When you have it the way you want it, spray paint the PVC black so its not as noticeable.
I've made a bunch of these bilge pump decoys- deadly on a calm day
