How do you turn on the Decoy?
The decoy comes with a waterproof remote that has a range from up to 50 yards away. The Jahpoo Flyway Deputy Motion Decoy only runs in two settings "ON" and "OFF". Simply operated by pressing the corresponding button on the decoy. Make sure before disconnecting the battery, to press the off button on your remote.
Run Time
The Jahpoo Flyway Deputy Motion Duck Decoy will run continuously for 4.5 hrs off of one 4AA battery pack.
High Wind
We've ran the decoy in high wind scenarios, 20+MPH wind. The decoy did not face any issues. When wind starts to exceed 20MPH, we would recommend just turning off the decoy in the resting position.
Wake
We've tested the decoy in wake where there was 2.5ft wake boat near by and the decoy did not tip over. Have had dog's run, jump, and swim right next to it. Have had zero problemos.
How shallow will the decoy run?
Unlike other motion decoys, the decoy will run in as shallow as 5in of water.
What about running the decoy in muck?
We've ran the Jahpoo Flyway Deputy Motion Duck Decoy in all types of water. From flooded timber, flooded rice and sludge, it runs through it all.
Cold
We designed the Flyway Deputy Motion Decoy to be the best in the industry. In Texas we don't have much exposure to extreme cold, but we ran a test where the decoy sustained a continuous run time of 3.5hrs in 12 degree Fahrenheit. The Decoy only sustained ice buildup in the air vent hole behind the head. At 3.5hrs was when the decoy needed the ice to be knocked off
Saltwater
The Jahpoo Flyway Deputy Motion Decoy is 100% waterproof. As long as you do not flood the internal compartment with water. There will be no damage. After use in Saltwater, like your other decoys, rinse off with freshwater.
What if you shoot it?
The flyway deputy motion duck decoy is made of HDPE plastic. We do not recommend shooting decoys, shooting at decoys, or shooting at decoys at point blank. The HDPE plastic is very durable & resistant, unfortunately they do not make bulletproof plastic. If there is please call us immediately.
Are you guys coming out with other Species?
As of right now, due to being early stage, we only have two different species to choose from for the Jahpoo Flyway Deputy. The first being Mallard Drake. The reason the Mallard Drake is was our first choice is because it is the most versatile species across the U.S. of A. Regardless if you're in the PNW or in the marsh of S. Texas, you can run a Mallard Drake and have success in the Field. Additionally we have a Matt Black option available for those that wish to add some diversity. We plan to come out with varying species at some point the future. We handpaint each decoy so we do have some learing to do as we come out with other species so please bear with us. email us at info@jahpoo.com and let us know what species you'd like next.
Is the Decoy Waterproof?
The Jahpoo Flyway Deputy Motion Duck Decoy is 100% waterproof. Each one is tested before paint and delivery. We've waterproofed the decoys with a burst testing of a capability of being able to take these 10ft below the water surface. As long as you do not swim with your decoy down to 10ft, or point blank a shotgun to it, the decoy will stay waterproof
Why Matt Black?
Learned from some of our buddies and recommended by others, using matt black stands out in your spread. If you fly a drone over your spread you'll notice as you get further away, especially on sunny days, matt black stands out the most.
