A bit disappointed

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

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!

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

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?

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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!!!
