I have just starting crow hunting and love it. Looking to buy a new or used Buster 2. Have looked everywhere with no luck. Other models would be welcomed. Thanks for looking.

If you want to have a Buster II for cheap $, go on Ebay and look for the similar flapping wing bat Halloween toys that run on two AA batteries. Cover up the head with black tape to hide the red light eyes. If you want to mount it on a dowel use a hot glue gun and glue a spring the battery cover that is the right size for the dowel you want to use. They work great and are a fraction of the cost of a Buster.

I stopped by party city yesterday February 25th,they do not carry the flapping winged bat prop this time of year. Only during Halloween . eBay,or Amazon is your best bet.

Thanks for your help. Found them on Ebay. Two for $18.00
It may or may not work but it will at least be it will be fun to try which is all part of the adventure!
Tape up the eyes and body with no glare black electric tape. With its 17" wing span there may be a few crows foolish enough to fall for it not to mention me possibly looking foolish to the old wise ones. I am not after the big numbers but just out there to have fun.

I have made MANY motion decoys out of those toy birds. I have a bunch of eagles currently. I nip the raptor beak off and spray them black.
I have bolted one to the talons of an owl decoy and hung it in a tree. That REALLY pissed the others off. LOL
