You can make one for alot less than what they sell for in Cabela's. Go to Walmart or one of the local toy stores and buy a $3-$4 mini bumble ball. Don't worry about all the different colors they come in. Take one of the knobbies off the ball and find a spring that is just a little bigger than the hole you just made. Screw the spring into the hole and secure it with some JB Weld. At the local hardware store or lumber yard you can find a wooden dall that will fit tightly inside of the coil spring. Cut the other end at an angle so that staking it into the ground will be easier. Also at Walmart find a stuffed rabbit or any natural colored creature that will make a tight fit around the bumble ball. Pull out the stuffing from the bottom and slide over the bumble ball. You now have a decoy with more movement and alot cheaper. The JB Weld will be the most expensive item to buy but if you like me it comes in handy for lots of things around the house that the kids break. Now as for using one and having much success, I haven't yet. The next few months will give a better picture as to where they are worth the effort or money. Hope this helps.
