White van man.
You've got pm

I used jack pyke decoys they are what you can only be describe as pants.
-
Too right mate - a got some from shootwarehouse years ago and they are still is great condition
-
If you take all of your time setting up in the right place. Putting your decoys and you're magnet put. Never be scared to change. if I have Pigeons flicking away from my decoyed pattern switch off the magnet. And if I shoots I Field that has been shot a lot with people using pigeon magnets I won't even take mine.
The birds will shy away.
Good luck and keep them dropping

Ps. Just another observation I have made.
When you study and watch pigeons feeding habits you will notice 5 out of 15 pigeons feeding We'll Have their Necks extended looking for predators. So if you use pigeon cradles. Make sure that your Dead birds on your cradles do not have extended necks. It would look like there is a problem if you have 25 birds with extended necks to a decoying bird.
The way I resolved this was to cut 1 inch from the neck spike on the cradle.
Good luck and keep them dropping

The first thing you need to do is find if the pigeons are coming in to your field. Study your field as often as much as you can.
And also study pigeons habits. In the past I have sat on the side of the field where pigeons are coming in just watching there behaviour while they're feeding.
I've seen lots of guys putting decoys facing the wind Like military soldiers I think that's wrong. You need to put your Decoys all in different angles into the wind across the wind. The only time pigeons will face exactly the same way Is when they are about to fly off.

One thing on must say last night when I was sitting looking over the field having a nice brandy a young chap in his mid 30is walked past the bottom of my garden with a semi auto 12 gauge horizontal over his shoulder. I can only presume it was loaded so coming from someone that has been shooting shot gun for over 30 years Incident free It wasn't the safest way to carry a gun. When you're walking past Gardens.
Ps My wife keeps telling me off for standing near just staring out the window and not unpacking lol.
But I just can't stop it.
Cheers guys and keep them dropping

At last the move from London to Suffolk is complete. We have gone from a two bedroom flat in London with views that you can imagine And look at the view I'm looking at now.
To be honest I've sat in the garden looking across this field as the pigeons are dropping in to this newly drilled field For the last few hours.
I cannot believe my luck because I have already approached the farmer and Got shooting permission.

Hi guys I went out again yesterday on the rape. Only shot 11 and really had to work for that.
Started off looking good the wind was good and the birds were in the trees 200/300 yards away but it just didn't come together.
The pigeons were flying out of the trees across the road and off. Just couldn't pull them in.
But had a nice day out.
Cheers guys
Good luck and keep them dropping

Great pics and I am learning it pays to be persistent with pigeon shooting...as nothing is gauranteed

Just north lol. I drive up the m1 j22 a few times a week.

Got a invite to shoot over peas on Wednesday. So up nice and early And couldn't wait to get over the farm. after looking for about an hour and only seeing 2 pigeons. I started to worrie. :-(
But my mate made a phone call and off we went. over to luton somewhere
? Over rape. Didn't get to the farm till about 14:00.
Anyway we could see pigeons coming in to eat in twos and threes. So I walked them off. And set up ASAP in the middle of the field. the wind was good and strong. After setting up a lovely patten we got in the hide and the first bird was within 30 seconds. BANG first bird dead in the patten ( fantastic ) we finish up atabout 19.30 with 63 pigeons and 1 maggie.
Get ready guys the big bird days are coming.

I have both guns. Cz 452 varmint .22 and the varmint 17 hmr.
People will tell you about the wind wind wind !!!! With the 17 hmr. Trust me it's not a problem
Since getting my cz 17hmr I don't think the .22 is ever going to come out again.
Cheers
Ps the first day I took my 17 out I had 32 head shot rabbits.
-
Ps just a quick one. This time last year I shot 14 crows just sitting at the bottom if a oak tree with a 410 hushpower.
But I did have a ghillie suit on with a pair of GLASSES.
-
It's better if you can shoot from the car. But you must put a pair of glasses.
Crows have the best eyes sight as we all know the first thing that's eaten is the eyes so crows can see a dead rabbits eyes from across the field.
Trust me if you're sitting in the best hide money can bye with the best cammo on it doesn't matter. crows can see you're eyes Like flashing lights in the dark.
Just imagine you're a crow flying over a nice hedge row. Hand on !!! You say to you're self. why has that hedge got a pair of eyes.
And off you fly at 100 mph. Flicking a finger at the hedge.
Ps good luck and keep them dropping.

Morning Tim.
I used the fox caller we both use for the first time yesterday. I was calling for about 15 minutes and a fox came running towards me. And I mean running.
It run right up to the tree I was resting on. 6 feet away.
Now I've been shooting foxes for 20 years and
I've never had a fox run fall speed from 200 yards. WOW is all I can say.
Cheers mate.

Don't worry about how old he is. Just make sure he is strong enough to hold up a gun.
Good luck.
