thats something you dont need Why? If someone wants something, they should have it. They do work and can be helpful. You may not "need" it, but it never hurts to have it if you want it.

thats something you dont need I may not "need" it but it was something that caught my interest and cost less than $15 to make. I don't think it will hurt plus it killed time while the Rangers lost.

Great job, just built two this afternoon ( idea from gogburn also ). Wife will be sewing a bag with a shoulder strap to carry them this week. Haven't painted them yet but will before next weekend.
That's nice for those of you that don't need/want a dove tree but they work well, especially when 99% of the trees in your area are Mesquite. Those small limbs don't hold well. These also work well in a sunflower field where there aren't any trees.

just finished this little project. I was bored and it was cheap to build. I got the idea from 'gogburn' Dont you just hate those decoys out now, looks likes parakeets rather than dove. I looked at BSP and Academy today for ones like I have but all they have are those crappy ones.

Did you cut the end at an angle or anything to make it easier to stick in the ground?

dont know about phat694...but i used squared tubing...and cut an angle at the end...dug it about 2 feet deep (total length about 7ft) and just slid my 1/2" pvc over it...stands pretty sturdy...and don't wiggle around.

thats something you dont need I hope your joking cause if your not apparently you don't know how to bird hunt and obviously have never seen the Mojo in action. Mojo's work for real so really the only thing he don't need is your negativity on something he built for himself.

Did you cut the end at an angle or anything to make it easier to stick in the ground? I have a 4 foot 1/2" thick steel post that is in the ground, then the PVC tubing goes over it. The whole tree is 10' tall so there is some wiggle at the very top but over all its pretty sturdy.
