Ok so we all know that duck hunters fall victim each year to the new motion decoy gimmick. I saw the Auto Jerk Decoy system online the other day and I like the concept. There are limited reviews online but I wanted to see if anyone here uses this thing. And I know I should quit being lazy and use a regular jerk string but I have some credit at Mack's that is burning a hole in my pocket.

if you have a blind that is regularly good that you hunt once a week or so and could justify leaving it there I guess it could be. we hunt too many blinds and they seem like a lot to be packing up setting up and moving around. the little jerk string grapple things are light hold good and work.

This seems like a great idea- pumping a jerk cord is a pain. But I agree with woodduckhunter- this seems like it would be a pain to set up and move around. I've long considered making a handheld puller that would pull a jerk cord automatically, but use the same anchor/set up that all of us already have.

Anyone want to fund the development?

I showed this to my friend and and he said "hands free jerking seems kinda like cheating".....

Have you seen this latest gadget? It's a sound activated jerk string....

They are cool, a buddy used one with us last year, but in all honesty for the money a jerk rig is cheap and you only have to tug on it when birds are in the decoys, easy stuff.

$270???

Yep on the high end of the scale for most people,
Remember you got to pay to play. I'm too old school for something like this.

I wouldn't pay for it, but I can see how it would be helpful. I get tired of pulling a jerk cord.
