Motion Predator [And Turkey] Decoys

[Elrique64]

Hey, I wonder if this is like the bear barrels for example. Anyone tried picking the decoys up and resetting them? Since the ERR came in it looks like position data was skewed maybe? just a theory.

If this is what happened, to my simple mind it would make all the sense in the world- location coordinates exist for all of our "placed" equipment- feeders, ropes, decoys. It wouldn't explain the predator decoy but it might isolate one or the other, or do nothing.

After the ERR patch, most of my tents were tipped over. I picked them up and reset and solved that issue. Been fine since. This has happened before is why it seems familiar.

OK, gave resetting the decoys a try, picking them up al moving them a bit, then setting them back down. Had no discernable effect. Turkeys still beelined straight to the call, Yotes didn't stop at the spinner...


I had high hopes this would be a fix, at least short term. Thanks for the suggestion, in any case!

Dumb question.... what exactly was the ERR patch?
After the last patch Friday morning (my time), I swear the motion decoy was still working. Was heavy into a yote comp that day.
Didn't know about the turkeys till yesterday.
Also according to previous post, moving decoys didn't work.
Sure hope they get this fixed..... I do a ton of yote and turkey hunting here.

No, that's not the case this time. Usually I just carry a decoy with me and place it after getting a call, then I respond to the call. Didn't work - the fox came to my call, but wasn't interested in the decoy.

The extended render range (ERR) - Not a dumb ? ~

So my theories shot to hell again, what's new? ~ it was worth trying so at least that can be ruled out. the secret to finding what does work is eliminating what does not in a lot of cases

In a way, the fact the whippy tail didn't work kind of make sense that resetting wouldn't work since when it's placed, it's known location to the animals should register - I know scents are working so not all attractants are dead.

Not a word about any fixes at all in the status update. None. Zilch. Got to see some nice rares and hear about the football comp but not a word about were they are on fixing some of these broken things. I know Graham is just filling in for Mat but some real info on the status of all these bugs would be nice in a Status Update.

There are too many bugs to be disappointed about a single one not being fixed, I fear.

Though if they'd bring back the "personal best" function, I'd celebrate big time.

While hunting this turkey comp. this morning I noticed turkeys seem to be ignoring decoys. they do not go to them like they are not attracting like they should. Any one else seen this?

Several others have experienced the turkey decoys and motion predator decoy not currently working properly, so you are not alone. A bug report has been made for these items.

It may be unrelated but the scent sprays seem to be acting the same way.

Nope- not working - Have to do it old skool like we used to - And scents I have used have worked but haven't used them all.
