Now moved onto a large capacity hiking rucksack, purchased from ebay holds a dozen decoys and sits comfortably on my back, with side pockets for flask, ammo etc Jono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried various mesh bags and would never go near them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I use the Jack Pyke, works for me but only in its first season. Plenty roomy and a few pockets for odds and **** as well as hide pole straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrycatcat1 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Just to conclude, santa is bringing this bag in olive green http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jack-Pyke-Camouflage-120L-Decoy-Bag-Hunting-Pigeon-Shooting-Rotary-Hide-Decoying-/260930635301?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&var=&hash=item3cc0ad8625 Thanks for your opinions The reason I did not go for a net one is that I have used that sort before for pigeon decoys and it gets caught on everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrycatcat1 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Harry ave u got any workwear netbags from pit ? Yes mate thats what I use for pigeon decoys but they get caught on everything and are awkward to carry. I only have some orange wire loop to carry them.

Big Al Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Mine just arrived from Santa today :santa: edited to say I ought to be on commission I only ordered mine today. I am looking forward to being able to taking more decoys out. I have a few old mallard decoys which could be classed as generic as there is no paint left on them! My new flambeau decoys should last longer in my jp bag. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenergp Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I was thinking about using one of these bags for carrying decoys, i could also use it to sit on when the decoys are out.....what do you think? any good? https://www.dobbies.com/products/gardening/plant-care-and-growing/garden-accessories/dobbies-heavy-duty-garden-bag/?c=27890 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clanchief Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 For my pigeon and crows its a decoy direct giant bag that holds the lot, for my goose shooting( not wildfowling) fuds I use a blue Ikea bag, works great though as I just drive up and if bothered open the gate to the field I can drop them on the spot and then park up a field away, I can leave hazel poles and my seat in situ also B&Q do garden tidy bags that are huge and pretty cheap, you might need to sew a strap on it.

SuperGoose75 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 you might need to sew a strap on it. Im with you Clanchief...Most Wilfowlers and Shooters are innovative Creatures and are always looking/thinking of trying new things' especially if your on a budget. Just the other week I have been making up a hide with some old camo net and plastic garden fencing. I cable tied the net on and also cable tied some plastic garden poles and some bamboo sticks. I then had a longish clip strap that I kept from an old torch that i had thrown out "Knew it would come in handy for Something" and i now have a portatble hide that weighs little or nothing and is easy carried over the shoulder. I think them Dobbie bags would be a great cheap idea and would just as Clanchief has said need a bit of Modifying. A Strap of an Old gunslip/sportsbag or similar, A piece of Rope even with a bit of pipe lagging cable tied on for a shoulder strap padding and maybe a few loops sowed around the top and an old belt or something to tighten the top of the bag. I have always used the mesh type decoy bags but they where never that comforatble to carry in my opinion. A friend of mine just uses old large sports bags for his decoys. Of course it would be nice to have all the latest new purpose made gear' but after all it is Wildfowling and not a fashion parade and something practical done on the cheap is not always a bad idea.

greenergp Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 At the moment i think i will use one of the recycling bags the council gives us for putting newspapers etc in, it holds about 12 decoys and has a velcro closure, the only problem with it is its blue, it would be nice if they could do one in realtree cammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How lucky am I ? My housekeeper asked for a sewing machine for Xmas and is taking classes, what she doesn't know about shooting kit she soon will, once I get to daydreaming.
