If you put a skirt on the female deeks it hides the cradles. You could of course do away with the cradles and put them in high heels. :blink: The female deeks look more natural if they are standing close together, gossiping. Don't forget to put a rabbit close by so they look like bunny boilers.

Let's leave it at that then. bart37 is a PILLOCK!!!!!!

Sadly it was an old tip that has been discredited for many years now. If pigeons are thick enough to come to plastic decoys, both shiny and flocked; to pigeons that seem to be flying in a tight, unnatural circle, or flapping a few times, stopping then flapping again, (as with magic roundabouts and pigeon flappers;) don't notice that dead pigeons, or deeks, are suspended well above the crop on cradles or, in the case of cereals, on long canes etc. or set as out as floaters, plus all the other ways we set out to deceive them, why on earth do you think they will notice that you've removed the eyelids from your deeks?? The fact that pigeons are driven by instinct to join their feeding mates, and put their natural awareness of danger on the back burner as they approach our decoys, shows that they are not as clever as some people seem to think, and this gets thousands of them killed each year. It also shows that pigeon decoyers, who think like a pigeon, have the upper hand, provided they don't think of silly little things that don't attract pigeons, but can only be seen by them when they are very close to the hide, and virtually in the pot. PARALYSIS BY ANALYSIS!!!

P igeons I n close enough to L ook at these L aughable suggestions O ught to be C lose enough to be K illed I read of another pigeon shooter, who asked a well known pigeon expert, if he knew the difference between male and female pigeons, because he thought his dead bird decoys ought to include the correct ratio of male to female birds. PILLOCKS!!!

There's always some pillock suggesting removing the eyelids from dead birds, or using plastic padding to make a decoy's crop look full. There was one shooter who even called into a local shop to buy some breakfast cereal, which he piled in front of his deeks. Pillocks the lot of 'em, any pigeon close enough to notice the difference is close enough to be shot DEAD!!!

Hope he doesn't teach French. Maisons are houses, in France.

Hey Sundowner, Check my signature and get the Latin right.

1/4 and 3/4 for everything.

Ignore the little ****!!

That will leave it nice and clean for you mate.

Don't blame it all on the Chinese, they need all that lead to put in their paint!!!

Muff diving is my game.

I was shooting pigeons on OSR on September 29th.

I've gone over to Velocitors.

Same amount of OSR on my ground, this season. Pigeons playing ping pong, as usual. Killing just 20 plus birds, the other day, meant I kept them from seven fields of OSR, (they found somewhere else to feed!)

Pity about the spelling, grammar and inappropriate use of capital letters..............

Go back a bit further in time, and I believe the two barrels stacked above each other, was the original configuration. Something tells me the French made guns that way, before barrels were fitted side by side.

A woman complained because she was having too much sex. The doctor told her to have it infrequent, and she asked if that was one word or two!

I wonder if Ryan or Hamilton were suffering from depression?

Not strictly true!! You can own autos with more than a two shot mag if you get one on FAC. Don't mislead our American friend.......... Many years ago even OU guns were frowned upon, in the field, in this country. The most popular guns were side by side, but you rarely see them now. Apparently five times more OUs are sold than side by sides these days. Just check the gun rack at your local gunshop.

The BASC came out against cage rearing of game, ages ago.

Don't use tighter than half choke with steel.

Frankee and Blarser are correct. You also pronounce (most) Brownings - MIROKU!!!

Most pigeon shooters love gadgets and kit. I've spent many a breathless time, carting kit I may not use, over vast fields, to get to where the pigeons are feeding. I've done the usual thing and left items at home, to save weight, but it is still a chore with screaming lungs and an aching back, made even worse when you have a good day and all those pigeons just add to the load, requiring more than one trip. I weighed my kit and it came to 78lb. Add the rotary and it topped 90lb. I didn't include ten dead decoy pigeons, heavy coats etc. so these figures are very conservative. I have given this a lot of thought over the years, and done nothing to ease my burden, so I bit the bullet, went to my local fishing tackle shop and bought a carp barrow!!! The bloke in the shop knocked £10 off and I got it for £59.99. What a revelation!! It fits in the boot, unfold it, screw in the handles, load the kit on, two bungee straps and we're away. Pushed or pulled, it is a stable platform for my kit and, as my camouflage netting is 20 feet by 6 feet the extra length drapes over the kit cart, and I'm all set to shoot some woodies. Handy if you don't have a 4X4, or if vehicular access is restricted. The only locked gates are at the roadside, and as I have to lift my kit over them anyway, there is no inconvenience.

Would it be possible to glue a rod to the inside of the case and extract it that way? Just a thought.
