Do Robo-Ducks give hunters an unfair advantage?
lots of variables. For those of you who hunted with spinners the first two years, I don't think there is really an argument over whether or not they created an advantage. It's only anecdotal evidence which proves nothing, but I could tell you story after story on how unbelievably effective they were INITIALLY. It really wasn't fair. BUT, after several years of spinners they seemed to lose their effectiveness as the ducks caught on. I, for one, was only too happy to see them banned in Arkansas as it was just one less complicated piece of gear to prepare and lug. They are/were at least effective enough that someone is generating pressure to bring them back. Go figure.

I didn't hunt with "Robo-Ducks" during those first couple of years that they were popular. They weren't all that "convenient" to carry in to the places where we hunted.
Many of us can recall over the past several years having successful hunts without them. Without starting a whole other argument, there is nothing wrong with learning how to use (not just blow) a duck call, rearrange decoys, change locations, etc. For those who feel that this sounds too much like work, then maybe you should stay home and try something like needlepointing.
I personally hope that they are found to be less affective than many hunters are hoping for. As for the people "generating pressure to bring them back", they must not have hunted back when there were 30 day seasons with either a point system or a three duck limit.
My vote is use them or lose them.
Knowing that there is a good chance that I am the only person who cares about my opinion, this is just my opinion, but for the record, I do own a "wing spinner".
