ratchers Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Been thinking about getting a pop up hide and have read that I may be better off with some sort of camo stealth hide screen instead as its more versatile. Its for shooting pigeons,corvids,magpies and squirrels. So any ideas........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Stealth ghost or a 3d leaf cut are the most popular used both and am using 3d leaf cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) Not quite a pop up but based on the same idea. I have just made my own using one of the folding camping chairs with arms, some old plastic drain rods and black water pipe. The camo netting was the most expensive part. Purchased a carp fishers tent from Aldi for £12 I think it was and the material from this was used to make the roof and sides waterproof. It all folds up into my LR90 Defender. Designed for ambushing not decoying but a similar one could be made for decoying. I used the see through fine mesh netting for the front but it is not good enough against the eyes of magpies, so I am adding a type of 3d leaf instead. Very comfortable and I can have it up and in use in five minutes. I use an open top hide, with stakes and screen occasionally if the situation warrants it and I also have another pop up which can seat two people and be in use in about 45 seconds, again home made. I prefer to spend my money on cartridges, so make my own kit where I can. Edited October 5, 2016 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchers Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Thanks for the ideas. My daughter used to have a pop up wendy house............could cover in camo net but it might be a bit of a squeeze getting in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASunnyD Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 I was thinking of sitting in my daughters Wendy house and shoot the dog that leaves excrement on my front lawn, I figured it would make an excellent urban came from other people haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Ghost nets are pointless! I dont get why they seem to be all thats on offer these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Why are ghost nets pointless, as long as you use them as intended they work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Why are ghost nets pointless, as long as you use them as intended they work just fine. Because they are see through! You have to cover them in other skrim nets and foliage to actually make yourself hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 They only tend to be see thru if you put your face up close...if you walk 30 yards away and look back at them you will get the idea - not effective with crows but pigeons often seem oblivious to them as long as you have a decent background and don't move around.

pauldr Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 i use the lightweight see through nets and a couple of grow poles from b&q , they double up as my shooting sticks (only £6.00) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLEAR-VIEW-LIGHTWEIGHT-CAMO-NET-PIGEON-HIDE-SHOOTING-NETTING-UK-WOODLAND-OAK-4m-/351104381305?hash=item51bf73b179:g:y0cAAOSw9mFWKPmP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
