Hi Stubby, Ok That is good to know, If the wind is behind you what would be your prefered pattern set up??? Would you say this is a good set up? Regards, Tim WIND | | | V [Hide] 25/30 yards | I I I V x x x x x x x x x

Hi Guys, Thanks very much for all the great advice! Regarding the car that could be a good move. I was shooting on a farm which is in a Barracks so it gets patrolled with cars moving around very often. I did not have a net above my head though. I used 9 decoys and I spaced the first 3 out about 5 yards and the the rest 3 yards apart, I did try a floater but I am sure this made things worse. The birds where flying around/over the hide but seem to be dropping elsewhere. The birds where feeding in the same field but not near me! I am pretty new to all this as I am more of a Game/wildfowler so I appreciate all this great advice. I will keep trying and await the new crops as everything is getting ploughed up as we speak! Regards, Tim

Hello, If anyone could help me on this matter I would be very greatful. I went Pigeon shooting today on Rape stubble, I set my hide up in thr field and set my decoy pattern. I went for the u shape as the wind was coming from behind my hide. At the start pigeons where coming in (not all) but as time went on they where not interested. Pigeons where still flying around me but did not take interest in the pattern at all. Why was this? Here are some pics of my set up. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/r3awa2gmstmbww2/Wd2xAwFkmx Many Thanks, Tim
