Did he think it was a real teal? or was there a woody that flew by?
lol no, pair of woodys came in crossing and the spinner just happened to be in between him and the bird when he shot. Got the woody, but the spinner is toast, shot in the motor, dented case, blew the battery and back right off the little guy
You should mount it.
My "mudhole" blind is set up so that the whirligig acts as the safe boundary for shots on low birds on the dog stand's end of the blind, in order to preserve what's left of the coyote's hearing and head. The inviolate rule is "No low shots to the right of the Robo." And a few years ago a then 78yr-old annual regular, Jim, rocked the spinner smoking a low crossing teal. But when I got it stopped to survey the damage, Jim proudly proclaimed, "You'll note that I did not shoot to the right of the Robo:"
That didn't, however, stop his buddies from holding a pre-hunt boat house ceremony to present him with a similarly shot up spinner rigged for hanging:
Am told it is, indeed, on his wall.
