good camouflage is required, the MOJO Blind Ghillie is the answer.
While the out-of-the package color
of the MOJO Blind Ghillie is very good in most environments, the color
of the Blind Ghillie is quickly and easily customized by darkening

more frayed and the more natural vegetation is entangled in the Blind
Ghillie… the better it gets!

decay and fall apart from one year to the next (requiring considerable
unnecessary expense, time, and effort), the MOJO Blind Ghillie will
last for years!

a generous 60” X 108” area. Buy it once and you’re covered by the
best, MOJO Blind Ghillie.

TRUSCOTT, Texas -- You could call Truscott a wide spot
in the dusty West Texas road north of Benjamin, but it really doesn't
qualify as a wide spot. Benjamin is the local wide spot, population
about 260. Truscott is in Knox County, due west of Wichita Falls.
This is wild-game country, which is how Tom and Scott Walker wound up
here. The Walker's are Fort Worth brothers who run a weekend hunting
operation called TxDoveHunt.com. The business name was Tom Walker's
idea. In the real world, he sets up Internet sites. When your business
name is the same as your Web address, it's easy for potential customers
to find you, even if they have trouble locating Truscott.
TxDoveHunt.com doesn't have a theme song. If they had one, it would
probably be the Muddy Waters 1950s blues classic "I Got My Mojo
Working."
When we hunted on the morning of Sept. 9, Tom Walker placed two Mojo
dove decoys and a half-dozen regular dove decoys in an open area. With
little cover except for a few sunflowers, we hunkered along a barbed-wire
fence and watched.
Mourning doves were trickling out of a nearby roost, headed for feeding
grounds. A few were landing in the harvested milo field where we were
set up. Most birds were just passing through, headed for distant fields
that offered easier pickings.
The field we were hunting had been hammered
by 40 hunters on opening weekend. The Walkers were saving another hot
field for 25 hunters expected that afternoon. There weren't many doves
flying over our spot, but the birds that came by homed in on the Mojo
doves.
The Mojo is a battery-operated, spinning-wing motion decoy. Mojos were
first made as motion duck decoys for waterfowl hunters. Lately, dove
hunters have been raving about Mojo doves.
The animated wings don't flap like a real bird, but the spinning motion
alternates a dark and light side of each wing, creating motion that
apparently looks good to doves.
"If I have kids or inexperienced hunters in a group, I like to
set the decoys up close to them," Walker said. "There's no
doubt in my mind that the motion decoys will influence doves. They can
see the motion from a long way, and they'll change their flight pattern
to come to the decoys, often landing right beside them."
I'm neither a kid nor inexperienced, but I like to shoot doves with
a .410 shotgun and 2&frac-inch shells. The little shells pack just
half an ounce of shot. That's half the load I recommend for hunters
who shoot 20- or 12-gauge shotguns.
When you shoot a .410, you quickly learn that a miniature shotgun cannot
perform like a 20-gauge with a full ounce of shot dispensed in a dense
pattern. There's no margin for error. With a .410, close shots are good
shots. Long shots are pretty much a waste of time.
On the morning I hunted with Tom Walker, I watched bird after bird adjust
its flight pattern at least enough to fly over the decoys. As Walker
predicted, many birds tried to land within a few yards of the Mojo.
Our companions 75 yards away would sometimes shoot at passing doves
and miss. Without hesitation, the birds would fly straight to our decoy
as if nothing had happened. As a result, I filled a 15-bird limit. There
were relatively few doves using that particular field, and I'm certain
that I would have fallen far short of a limit without the decoy.
The Mojo dove costs about $50 and requires either a 6-volt battery or
four AA batteries, depending on the model. I prefer to hunt in an area
with so many doves that you don't need a decoy. Sadly, most dove hunters
never have that luxury. For them, a $50 spinning-wing decoy is a good
investment.
The Walkers, incidentally, have dove-hunting packages that start at
$25 a day. For more information, call 817-658-4728.
