Mojo Outdoors – Coot Confidence 6-Pack We have all killed a lot more birds because of MOJO. Confidence is defined as the state of feeling certain about the truth of something. Ducks and geese that don’t have confidence that your decoys are real will never cross into gunning range. MOJO has now given birds a warm and fuzzy feeling with their Coot Confidence 6-pack. Why coots? Coots don’t stick around to see if you are a threat or not. Ducks know that and some species like wigeon and gadwall will actively seek coots to steal their food. Kit comes with 2 Ripplers and 4 static coot decoys running on 4 AA batteries.
