Without. Nationwide, duck hunters loose one duck for every 4 ducks they pick up.

You know the sad part of all this is.......you don't even need a spinner to kill a duck in Canada........ANY idiot can kill one if he's got half a brain (without a spinner). I've proven THAT! :lol:

Steel 3's wrote:What the researchers tested was if the "body condition" of the birds killed was different with spinner "on" vs "off" ..... and they were different. Mallards killed with the spinner "on" were in better condition, on average, than those killed with the spinner "off".

That's because those birds in "worse condition" have been carrying around a butt full of #2 steel shot from the last time they flew by a spinner. :shock:

I wouldn't come near a spinner either if I got shot at every time I passed one. But they come in when there is no robo duck around. :wink:

They could have chosen 3 fields that were hunted everyday in the same vicinity. We all know we have good days and bad and some fields are better than others. Here is how I would have done it. One field hunts the entire season with a spinner, one without, and one alternating with and without every other day. The continuous fields would be your control for good days with and without and bad versus good and alternating day field would measure the effectiveness of the spinner directly and also include the error for good days versus bad. Now lets go hunting.

Just what the world needed another robo debate. There are too many uncontrolled variables to say any study like things is really accurate. But, we all know more birds are killed w/ a robo than w/o. If this was not the case no one would care if you used them. The whole robo issue is like steroids and baseball
