Matt Gould Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 hello just curios to know what you guys changes in terms of decoys and tactics when it come to shooting in winter on rape compared to if you was shooting wheat/barley/rape.... stubble in the summer, would you spread decoys out more, take more decoys, use magnets/flappers more, what time of the day is best, thank for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 With winter rape I find the more movement in the pattern the better , so magnets, flappers , bouncers etc are even more useful. Early or late shooting is usually best with very windy days helping to keep birds split up and on the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 More of everything except cartridges always have a good roosting wood as backup to a frustrating couple hours decoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootnfish Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 On rape I tend to put my decoys a bit closer together than I would on drill or stubble only because they stand out a bit better closer together on rape, especially I f its a few inches high. When watching pigeons on fields I think they do feed closer together on rape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I tend to use pretty much the same tactics/patterns to shoot pigeons the whole year round. The only thing that changes is the amount of layers I wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
