You guys realize that Rabbeye is probably a 15 year old internet troll right? Feeding him responses just makes him that much happier.
As for the original question - I bought two of the new mojos with the AA batteries this year. The two times I tried them they died in 3 hours and 2.5 hours. Both days were very cold and windy. However that's when I duck hunt! What good does it do if my batteries die after 3 hours every time its 19 degrees out. I clipped off the connector, put on plugs to transform it into the old 6V battery style and can't be happier. Those batteries last all day and can easily be changed. Plus I don't have to buy bricks of AA batteries every other day. The mojo works perfectly.

Lol.........if you put that time learning how to hunt ducks as you do figuring out how to run your mojo you'd be good.
For all you mojoers out there that need to run em all day and flair ducks my way, use a trolling motor battery, set it on shore and run 10 gauge wire to it. Can run all the mojos you want off of 1 battery for several days. Wings spin nice and fast too!

I'm not even a duck hunter, but your posts on here are absurd!!! Well I certainly hope your duck knowledge surpasses your infinite deer knowledge! As you argued the law stating that hunter orange must be worn by all deer hunters (even bow hunters) in the woods during youth shotgun!!! Even after I posted the law proving that you must, you still argued that bow hunters don't need orange.Hope people didn't listen to your ignorance on that subject!!! So go blow your horn a little more ya tool!!!!!

He is right about the hunter orange during youth. read your laws! i am not standing up for this guy either. sounds to me he thinks his way is the only way to kill ducks. i hardly ever use mojos on water every one uses them but in fields they cause mass murder on greenheads and blacks.

Unfortunately there are too many of these "know it all" types. It's fun watching them make an azz out of themselves on the internet.
Let us know how the recharge batt's work out for you. Unfortunately those cheap mojo combo packs run on AA. Just found that out yesterday. I love my first baby mojo that came with recharge batt and added remote to save batt life and other fowl from flaring.
It pays to hunt smarter not harder. Horrible idea using marine batt. those things weigh a ton
. Please spend more time up in Canada Rabbeye and chase more birds our way. The local birds here do educate fast, we love those dumb Canada uneducated birds that have been chased by the Indians and their old ways.

Alaska. I never saw the golden carpet out when I hunted there. Yep lots of rumors from guys that never set foot on the place. There were places on the reservation that baited heavily but didnt hunt those. The Canadian club had marshes that were so good there was no need to bait. They controlled the pressure unlike the places that had to bait to have good hunting.

Not going to enter the Mojo debate, but Rabbeye does have a valid point about duck calling that can be extended to calling just about any kind of wildlife.
I read a comment once that went, "The greatest waterfowl conservation tool ever invented is a duck call in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use it!"

If you hunted goose lake club or st Anne's you did. You didn't see it because they eat it. If you have been around those clubs so much you would know about the holding / resting ponds....

Rabbeye, I have read your list of credentials, however, far be it for this uneducated hillbilly to point out your flawed statement, but, Scouting is what a waterfowler needs to master before he sets a decoy, or blows a call. You can't kill ducks, if there are no ducks to kill.............Now if you wish to discuss waterfowling, feel free to pm me. Many fellow hunters now refer to me as "The Bus Driver" because I've "taken them to school" over the subject of ducks, and geese. I'd be happy to see if I can learn you sumpton two.

Well, I'm glade I didn't ask what breed of dog or make of shotgun was better. I killed a bunch of ducks and geese this season while field hunting. I use the spinners on dark overcast days and I use the timer/remotes to shut them off for geese. It has worked well. I did have to change up the spread for the geese a few times to get them to commit. Wait, dose that trick make me a Real Hunter? I officially made it, I can quit now. Thanks to all that contributed info. I went with the recharge Eneloops Thanks Brian
