The flocking of this coyote decoy also reduces noise during transport and setup. This Flambeau decoy features a faux fur tail with wire frame that is posable and moves in the wind. In addition, this flocked decoy's bungee leg system allows it to be placed in a sitting or laying position for enhanced versatility. Simply attach a white rag or rabbit pelt to the flocked decoy's snout to attract the attention of other coyotes. This Flambeau decoy was designed by renowned wildlife artist Charlie Norton.

Many airports around the world have problems with birds being sucked into the intake of the jet engine scausing potential serious damage to the engine. (Remember the forced landing in the Hudson River on January 15th, 2009). Several test programs are being used to study the effectivness of these coyote decoys to keep the birds away from the runways. So far the decoys appear to be working well with Canada Geese but not with Seagulls or Ducks. At TJB-INC, we have had great sucess with backyard ponds & corporate grass areas with preventing the Canada Geese from foraging on the grass and leaving those nasty piles of poo behind. They will stay in the water but will fly away to feed. Since the geese tend to leave their poo droppings in the same grassy areas they feed on, keep them off your lawn will reduce the poo droppings on your property! Pity the poor property owner who does not have a decoy and gets a hungry flock of Canada Geese. They will have a large mess left behind.
The scientific name for Canada Geese is Branta canadensis. The birds often migrate in the fall, but isolated populations may reside year round. Nesting begins in March and April, in the riparian zone near a waterbody.
One goose can consume up to four pounds of grass per day, producing about three pounds of fecal matter per day. This can contribute to excessive amounts of nutrient loading because their feces contain 76% carbon, 4.4% nitrogen, and 1.3% phosphorus. These nutrients can cause harmful algal blooms in lakes from runoff. To make matters worse Cryptosporidium parvum, a protozoan linked to the feces of animals has caused over 400,000 sicknesses and a recorded six deaths (Worsnop, 1994).

DECOY HUNTING INFO
Predator hunting and most specifically Coyote Hunting has grown significantly across the United States along with the overall coyote population. The Coyote's scientifc name (Canis Latrans) means "barking dog" while the common name Coyote comes from the "Coyotl" the name used by Mexico's Nahuati Indians. This fast mammal can top out at over 40 mph for short distances and can make 14 foot leaps. Many myths from Native American peoples include a character who plays the role of trickster. While Coyote's often grow up to 26" in shoulder height, this decoy was designed smaller to play on the coyote's natural instinct to defend its territory and rid the area of unwelcome trespassers. The decoy moves the approaching Coyote's attention from you to the decoy --- turning the table on the fabled trickster.

Decoy Placement & Hunting Tips
1. Do not get human or unnatural scent on the decoy. Use gloves when carrying and positioning the decoy, then spray it with scent eliminator.
2. Place decoys upwind of where you expect the coyote to appear. Coyotes instinctively approach downwind.
3. Place decoys within your personal shooting distance in a clean shooting lane ... SAFETY FIRST!
4. Do not place the decoy in a direct line between you and where you expect the coyote to come from, the coyote may see you. Place the decoy off to one side of your location to distract the coyote's attention from your position.
5. Increase stability in strong wind by facing decoy "nose-first" into the wind.
6. Stake legs to the ground in windy areas by drilling holes in any of the 4 paws.
7. For added effectiveness, add crow & rabbit decoys to create a realistic setting and increase the confidence of approaching coyotes.
NOTE: We have noticed that the decoy only works well on adolescent & adult Canada Geese. The young chicks have not been exposed to most predators so they do not know to be afraid. If they are separated from their adult guardians, they will approch Coyote Decoys without any fear (just like a young puppy). AP photographer Mary Schwalm captured a great photo of a BirdX Coyote decoy and a nearby baby Canada Goose chick that has no fear. Mom on the other hand, was squaking from a far distance away to try to get the chick to turn around and get away!

A bit disappointed
From City of Seymour of Seymour, Wisconsin on .
Paint is chipped off in several area's on both decoys. The nose had to be colored in with black magic marker. There is a scratch line along the back of one. White plastic shows through in several spots. Tail fur is flattened from shipping, we're hoping it fluffs a bit. Also for the money, there should be stakes included for staking in to place. Tails don't seem to be very snug in place either. We'll see how well they stand in place.
Looks good but only okay
From Ray Skogen of Trophy Club, Texas on .
I used the decoy for predator calling, and while it is realistic looking, the shock corded legs make too much noise when carrying. I would rather have the legs fixed solidly and did that myself.
So realistic it fools geese and pilots alike!
From M. Grenoble "VanillaFace" of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on .
Great for keeping the geese away at the airport as long as you move it around every couple of days. So realistic it even fools the pilots as they taxi by! My only complaint is that it doesn't come with any way to secure it to the ground. I drilled holes in its feet and hammer tent stakes through to hold him down. A gentle breeze will blow him over if you don't secure him somehow!
Would recommend
From Mary Elaine Ramsey of Topeka, Kansas on .
The decoy has helped tremendously scaring away geese and ducks from the family pond that is stocked with fish. The only issue I have is that within a week or so of placing it (in full sunlight) out at the pond, it folded in half on itself. So I placed a stick inside the chest cavity, to puff up the chest, but the stick eventually falls out. Any suggestions?
Coyote Guard
From Karin Murdock of Dahlonega, Georgia on .
The coyote worked well for three weeks and even though we moved him around, as suggested, the deer figured out he was a decoy and ate the plants right next to him. He does look good though standing in the flower bed!
Woodchucks Beware!
From Henry J. Zapasnik of Lincoln, Nebraska on .
Looks very real. I like the versatility to pose it in different positions. I'm using it in my garden to scare away woodchucks.
Better than expected
From Anonymous of Vancouver, British Columbia on .
Originally I bought this decoy after it was mentioned in a Fur-Fish-Game magazine article about predator hunting. I bought it thinking it would help my success ratio. (Those coyotes are way smarter than I am!) However, I find that the entertainment value of this decoy is awesome because it is so realistic. When I set it by the dumpster next to the garage, the missus thought it was a stray dog trying to get to the trash. On the porch, the grandkids thought we had gotten a new dog when they pulled up. On the pad in front of the camper, other dogs growl, bark, sniff and want to play. Hilarious! Maybe someday I will actually take it hunting!
Highly recommended.
From Richard Eason of Orange Park, Florida on .
This coyote is being used in 2 locations. Both of the areas serviced by this type decoy seem to keep the birds away. there is another brand of coyote decoy being used in a nearby area that the birds just seem to blow off. this one is a keeper.
Very Realistic
From R. Hinz of Woodbury, Minnesota on .
Bought this as a Goose repeller and it was not good for that. I can tell you that the neighborhood dogs all thought it was real! From sniffing it's behind to growling and barking at it - pretty funny.
Excellent & well built
From Dr. Jackson of Block Island, Rhode Island on .
An excellent and quality built decoy. We use them on estates and open areas to deter geese and they work like a charm. Have tried other brands, but nothing works as well as these do. Well worth the cost.
Got a Goose Problem
From Pond Person of Granville, Vermont on .
We had a horrible problem with Canada Geese moving in and fouling our swimming pond and its surroundings. We got one of these standing coyote decoys, along with a couple of crouching snarling ones, and it did the trick. No geese last summer! I've just bought two more of these. This is all-out war!!!
