Just bite the bullet and buy 12 flocked shell decoys from a1 decoys it's only £40. They won't take up to much space and it saves all the hassle and they will hopefully last a long time. I've just ordered mine and I added a magpie on to my oder to to add some verity

10 Thursday afternoon on wheat stubble plus 2 crows 7984

Wow that is some kit list and that's only your decoys.

15 Sunday afternoon on laying wheat 7877

Top offer I find my self in a similar situation. I'm in Leicester if anyone else can help another newbie

Well if he is reading this I hope he sorts it out because I would really love one. Just debating whether I want to wait. Maybe he could get some of the parts made at a small engineering firm to speed it up

Get some equipment just some decoys and a hide to start will do watch where and when they are feeding. Get there before them and get shooting.

I hope someone can answer all of these questions I am in the same dilemma

Best advice putting one in my bag now

Think about what kind of land you will be shooting over. You don't want to be lugging loads of heavy stuff if you've got far to walk. I bought a massive army camo net weighs a tun. I got my jacke Pyke clear view net this weekend it weighs nothing and a pop up hide yet to test the hide.

I even forgot to take a picture of my hide for my other thred cuz I was that disappointed

Was looking promising to start, there was even some good flight lines into the field yesterday. But today sod all, my uncle got 2 and I missed a couple of easy one then the sky's were clear. Even went over to my other perm seen 3 pigeons in the sky....... where are they all!!!!

No wind while out shooting any advice? For decoy pattern?

Well done raymond

Carnt see why he would have a problem with it

Thanks jay

Who won then???

Maybe he has a duck costume in the hide for his dog

6 at the weekend 7461

So it's not all about ultra stealth then? as long as it's greenish and covers you, oh and in the right place it will work

Thanks for the pics fenboy

Joined, fingers crossed

I have just been reading some of the posts on pw, and there is a lot of talk and advice on hides. I was just wondering if next time you are out shooting could you please take some photos of your hides and patterns, to give some of us novices a few more helpful tips. As a picture says a thousand words. Any photos of your set ups will be much appreciated and next time I'm out I will take some snaps of mine.

Very true. That one never fails

I have they perfect way to get them back, me and my daughter call it giving them a shower. I get one at least every day and have timed it just perfectly to smack them straight in the face lol. All you do is just wash your window just before your about to pass and they get a face full of soapy suds. Surely its not illegal to wash your windscreen. It is funny we **** are selves laughing especially when you get the finger after they have wiped their face.
