For all who haven't check the Scout Arrival Page; I heard a ASY Male yesterday AM; then an hour later his girlfriend was with him; they seem so cautious this year, spooked by the decoy, careful about approaching the site; could an event traumatized them? Lots of storms this past season; the female is the most spooked; not sure they are spending the night; but they are here!Life is good

Congrats on your arrivals.
About them being spooky, if you could remove the decoy for a day or two, and see if that helps. Then put the decoy back up and see if the reaction is caused by the decoys.
