Tally Ho,
Take a look at the Enticer along with the Predator Supreme. Both are good, the Enticer worked pretty well for me, I just feel that for my situation the Predator Supreme works best. I think you can buy direct from
www.decoyheart.com, or Cabela's, Bass Pro, and Night Light usually carry the Predator Supreme. You won't like the price of this one either as it's also a $50.00 decoy. Additionally, I modified the stake to better suit my needs. Because most often I backpack the MTNF, I use a two piece turkey stake for my decoy instead of the one piece wooden dowel rod the decoy comes with. By using the two piece stake the outfit breaks down to fit in my pack, and I can vary the how high I set the decoy.
Regarding the Rigor Rabbit, I've never seen one in person so my comments are strictly based on seeing the thing in a video. I didn't like it in the video. Rigor Rabbit's motion doesn't seem too vigorious, sort of a short, rapid, up/down motion. The Predator Supreme does sort of a "rock and roll" thing moving from side to side and front to back. The way my decoy stake fits together, this motion also causes the top stake to very, very, slowly turn just a bit occasionally. That offers a different view of the decoy critter.
Gary,
Welcome to the board. What you have is a Weasel Ball. My weasel ball is orange and blue colored, did you repaint yours or was it a different color? I think the weasel ball's motor is a bit louder than the Decoy Heart used in the Predator Supreme. Or maybe the fur jacket of the decoy critter used on the Supreme muffles the sound of the motor some. My biggest complaint of the weasel ball is that there isn't an ON/OFF switch. With mine you have to unscrew the ball halves, put the battery in which immediately starts the motor going, then screw the halves back. That's kind of a pain in the butt for me to fiddle with.
My first decoy used a Decoy Heart in a small stuffed spotted puppy toy. It worked pretty well. I next came up with FrankenRabbit. FrankenRabbit used a Decoy Heart and a tanned rabbit hide on a string originally. Later I changed Frank over to a stake mounted unit. The real rabbit fur wasn't very durable and when it got wet was a real mess. The Predator Supreme was a better alternative for me personally.
