String pull motion wing decoy.
Out here in Oregon we can't use motorized decoys. We also can't use magnets, anything of the sort. I know that there are similar rules in Arkansas. I was going to post a homemade version that I made for about 20 dollars, but wanted to gauge the interest first. Sure they aren't as useful as a battery powered one, as you gave to pull the string, but if you hunt in an area they aren't allow or if you don't want to spend 100+, they are useful.

Yeah Gude. I have one of those. Mine actually functions just like the knotty duck.
I'm not trying to say I have something new or revolutionary. I just want to know if guys want to know how to make a non-motorized wing waver decoy for a lot less money. If you all only want to use Mojos, then I won't post. If anybody will actually find it useful, I'll throw together a quick instructional.

It's no big thing. I think I'm just going to put the info up and let people decide for themselves.
Here is a video showing the functioning of the duck.
The guts.
Thats a good idea arm might get a little tired though!
Been using em for about 3 years now. It take about a 1 foot pull to get that much motion. They auto rewind, so really, it takes minimal arm strength to use. I've never noted any arm fatigue using them.
