Radio in hide

I thought I was the only one with a radio in the hide, usually on Norfolk or Cambridge depend which county i'm in!

 

Great for getting you through 6 hours in the hide when the mind starts to wander when things go slack. Otherwise I start thinking all the reasons why I shouldn't be there.

Done this for years! When your on ya own and things go slack its good 'company'

I really must get an up to date radio tho.

 

And if I remember right a SW radio can also be used as a ferret locator if your Deben box goes wrong!

why ???

 

when it has gone quiet there has been many a time when I have been sitting there quietly and a rabbit or fox has ended up meeting its maker, I could probably agree with a radio on a phone and an earphone in your ear if your desperate but your out shooting,,cant see the point of a radio,

 

if your bored take someone NEW out with you and introduce them to the sport,,radio for me is a big NO, I,m shooting not at a disco

I have still had the odd fox even with the radio on but most of my foxing is done at night with the 223 and a lamp!

Bit like not having the radio on when you drive then as your out 'driving'

I prefer to listen to the sounds of the countryside. I had a friend out last year. We were in separate hides and at times he failed to shoot birds in his decoy pattern. It turns out that he was listening to the Ashes on a radio which he had sneaked into his hide knowing that I would disapprove.

It's just something else to frustrate me

I used to smoke and everytime I rolled a cig 3 pigeons came in and I'd drop bacca on me ,swear stand up they would be off..

Since I stopped smoking it's everytime I'm pouring a brew.

No doubt if I took a radio they would come in whilst messing with the radio and pouring a brew.

I do go on p/w though whilst I'm in the hide though, probably why I never shoot much :(

I can't see anything wrong with some light soothing music, glass of red wine and a little female company, just make sure the hide is big enough, otherwise your legs might stick outside and scare the pigeons.

Oh, it might help if you take a mate with you to do the pigeon shooting while you are otherwise occupied :rolleyes:

Don't use the radio anymore as i was worried it would get wet in the the hot tub.

 

What is frustrating though is smoking a nice cuban cigar, I put the gun away now as lighting up seems to be one of the best decoys I have.

Don't know how they do it in the movies but I can't shoot with a Cohiba on the go !
