The COOT LAUNCHER!

It comes with a tripod mount that you shove down into the mud. Then it has a 18 inch launch tube with a coot decoy on a string. When you turn it on, it reels the coot decoy into the launch tube and then silently launches it 30 feet into the air!

Can you imagine?

Jay I was picturing real coots. What fun would it be to launch a decoy? ### ### ### ### Fubar

Also comes in a hand operated version - turn a crank a few times and it loads up. ###Release the bracket holding the decoy and away it goes (spring loaded) - no batteries, just to be sure it doesn't break any laws about "electronic devices"....

I have heard there are other versions using "confidence decoys" (heron, etc).

Fubar:

Go to the refuge and observe. You'll figure it out.

Just ask your self why do ducks always check you out while you're tossing out decoys?

Update! Update!

They've got a special on "Coot Launchers" at Gray Lodge...

parking lot 17...

right next to the body piercing booth.

Which by the way is...

across from the neoprene belly dancers.....

and kitty corner from the camo face painting booth.

Wader repair in parking lot 19 along with "bird nest" hats for guys who really want to blend in.

Custom decoy painting in parking lot 18 along with instant dog castration (for those really bad days). That's why you hear so much howling down there.

Man, I would swear that Darth Jay had come into the room.....
