LEDE Mallard Buttkicker

Avian-X has expanded its motion duck decoy assortment with the addition of three new species to the Power Butt Kicker lineup: Mallard Hen, Pintail Drake and Black Duck. Engineered to replicate the precise feeding behavior of live birds, these new motion decoys feature anatomically accurate feeder-butt profiles paired with power-kicking webbed feet that generate true-to-life motion at the water's surface. From natural ripples and wake to the unmistakable splash signatures of mallards, pintails and black ducks actively feeding, this system promises to deliver the micro-movements that convince high-circling flocks to commit.

Every decoy includes a lifelike feeder-butt body in the hunter's species of choice, a high-impact power module, two power-kicking webbed feet and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with charger—everything needed to deploy realistic feeding action right out of the box. And, because the decoys are designed for maximum effectiveness, each unit offers two motion modes:

  • Full-On Mode for continuous, high-visibility motion lasting 12-plus hours, and
  • Intermittent Mode for ultra-efficient performance delivering 24-plus hours of runtime.

First Look: Blocker Outdoors Finisher Chest Pack Pro

The Blocker Outdoors Finisher Chest Pack Pro is the kind of gear that takes the basic tenets of turkey hunting into consideration, while attempting to minimize the burden of a cumbersome full-size vest. This makes it a a straightforward alternative to a full-size turkey vest for run-and-gun hunters who want to balance loadout with freedom of movement.

The Value of Post Season Scouting in the Snow

Although for most of the country deer season is over, there are some important aspects of deer hunting to be understood, particularly when it snows during the winter months. In my part of the country, we don’t often get a good blanket of snow until the deer season closes. However, when it does snow, I make a point to get outdoors and visit each of my hunting areas to learn when the learning is best.
