I don't know about Critter Getter, here's how I get great action from my homemade Frankenrabbit I mentioned above. I use one of those little coiled door stop springs. You know, the little tornado or V shaped coil springs which are bigger in diameter on one end than the other. I pull and stretch the spring out a bit to enhance the ability of the decoy to flop around. As they come from the factory/store they're wound too tight. Once the spring is stretched a little, I hot glued the bigger end on the bottom of the Decoy Heart. The other small end is glued into the top of a turkey decoy stake. This stake is a two piece stake and hollow in the center. The small end of the spring fits very snug in the hollow, then hot glue plugs it in there solidly. This two piece stake allows for heigth adjustment in the field and the spring allows the rabbit hide and Decoy Heart to dance and shimmy around very realistically. The spring capitilizes on the occilating weight of the Decoy Heart and it's sitting atop it. Also, the rabbit hide has been shaped and a cut into strips on the backside. This makes for more motion as the strips have more freedom and ability to move. Frankenrabbit is basically the same principal as the decoy the maker of the Decoy Heart markets. That decoy is called the Predator Supreme. My only problem with the Predator Supreme decoy is two fold. One, the Predator Supreme decoy is fairly large in size. I prefer my decoy to be about rabbit size. Two, the stake is wooden. Shoving that into the frozen ground, rocks, root wads, ect... as I do would surely break it in short order. But the idea is sound, and Frankenrabbit works very well for me.
