    4 last night all surrounding release pens on cut barley and rape fields, one on the bottom had slight case of mange . called all 4 in using a new primos hand call its quite effective to say the least :good: the first 3 ran to it, however the 4th was not interested at all and was shot at about 130 yards. All shot with a .22/250 and a lamp

    Does anyone have any ferrets for sale on here as they seem to be very scarce on other forums at the moment? my mate is looking for 2 - either hobbs or gills it doesn't matter neither does the colour or breeding as long as they are from working parents and have been fed raw meat and not cuddled :lol:

  3. Decoys, full bodied or Shell

    Yeah mixing is fine its all to do with you pattern and field craft at the end of the day. I shot 106 on friday and 96 on sat (5 hour afternoons both ) i had hypa-flaps on the rotary, sillosocks out in the field along with shells and odd full body, like everyone says i tend to bring the decoys in when the deads keep coming as nothing beats the real thing and when on stubble it is so easy to just open their mouths and force it onto the stubble so they look like their feeding :good:

     

    But personally i wouldnt say you need full bodies unless lofting etc just to bulky to carry over shells that work just the same :good:

    Here's a Cub we shot on Saturday evening about 7pm - we had shot a pigeon that landed on the far left hedge row must have been sat there for 3 hours the pigeon whilst we were constantly letting shots off. then we saw a vixen come out the hedge and take the pigeon into the hedge row so my mate crept down the rape field sat about 20 yard off it down wind and sqeaked ( just off hand as didn't have caller ) and this little cub popped out he gave it one in the head and it was down. went back out last night to sit for the vixen but no luck will try again tonight (Y) all in all was a good day and a nice bonus to a bag of 96 that we shot and 89 picked (Y)


    by far left i mean the hedge row to the top left of photo our hide was literally to the right of this photo (Y) he shot it near enough just of the corner of the hedge behind us ..

    Me and a friend got a call from our local farmer one day to say that his chickens had been vanishing one by one over night. ( this farm is well looked after from a terrier man and ive only seen one fox in 4 years. ) To say i was slightly excited to have this call for once would be an understatement and we both jumped at the opportunity to sit out with the shotguns.

     

    We arrived at about 5.30pm and spoke to the farmer about where he had seen it over the past few days lurking round. It was coming from a woodland with a brook course running through the middle that backed straight onto one of his yards ( this wood also has a small pheasant release pen ) . But no problems with pheasants as of yet, we could easily spot the run it was using to come out of the woodland to the back of the yard and decided to set up just slightly off ( 30 yards ) to the side of it ( down wind ). I put the Icotec Fox caller out in the field the other side of the yard with a dead rabbit ( attached to some fishing line to its hind leg ) and put the mouse call on as it is just a higher pitched version of the cotton tail.

     

    Within literally 10 mins the vixen appeared but was very hesitant to come out at first this must be 6:45 pm by now after a long talk and thoughts on setting up. It sat on the edge of the woodland so i slowly turned the volume of the call down and slightly tugged the fishing line to show a bit of movent in the rabbit. at this moment the vixen came running out almost to quick and well it got 2 42g 3's from layvale ( full choke ) pretty swiftly at about 35 yards.

     

    I know that this will never happen again on here though and the terrier man was not very happy but like the farmer said it needs to be done whether it was him or us !

     

    Not good with storys but hey hoe thought id share my most recent as i always prefer to sit for one with a shotgun over going out with a rifle !


    the farm is on the back left of the picture and the icotec was 30 yards out in the right of the field . The vixen appeared about 40 yards up the edge of the woodland on the background :)


    just need the lure attachment for the icotec now :good:

  11. flapper extension

    in Pigeon Decoying Equipment

    Posted

    Hi all I am shooting standing wheat and laid barley with moderate success what I am after is a couple of flapper extensions does any one know were I can buy any? . I know for a fact my shooting would increase with flappers above the crop.

    the magnet works to a certain degree but the wiser older birds are flareing a bit even with dead birds on. If i could introduce movement on a random timer at crop hight I recon a red letter day is in the making. UK shoot warehouse had them but no longer stock them please help if you can.

     

    Regards Steve.

    Hi Steve,

     

    You are right we do not manufacture these anymore, But we do have 2 left from when we used to stock/sell them so if your Bank stick method does not work out for you, just give us a call and we can arrange to get one to you.

     

    Good luck either way :good:

    my comment was not made against sillosocks but the other stretch overs

     

    Because of the success of the Sillosocks decoy we have introduced a slip over UV Enhanced jacket that can be fitted over your existing shell or full bodied decoy, thus giving you a less expensive option than replacing them completely. The Sillosocks Pigeon decoy jacket still carries with it all the same UV enhancement and is made from the same high detail non glare Tyvec. If you get them dirty you can even wash them in the washing machine (low heat and not suitable for tumble drying).

     

    ​Fortunately we do sell UV Jackets that do NOT go pink 'after a few days' :) I have used mine on over 20 occasions now and have had them for almost a year, without any discoloration or problems. And many others have. I can honestly say we have never had any returned for 'going pink' either, not to say i haven't heard of others on the market going pink after a few weeks.

     

    Ok, i understand and agree that it has happened a lot with other makes and designs from other company's and i advise people to do their research on the material the jacket is made from before purchasing .

     

    And I wish you all the best with the Enforcer Decoy range. Its nice to see new products still being developed on the market. :good:

    Don't look to great to me just buy some of the stretch over socks to put over your old seeks the most realistic birds you will ever get

     

     

    every one to there own i suppose but il guarantee they will go pink after a few weeks of sun shine as they are not UV stabilised and can not guarantee that ink on fabric

    Jack Pyke Maxi Decoy Bag is the one i use its great... especially when carrying all the dead pigeons at the end of the day!

     

    Last year tried the net/mesh types but they drag on your shoulders and bang against your legs. Looking for something for this season to carry 6 deeks or so, any suggestions?
    Cheers


    (get your mate to carry them doesn't count)

    Mossy I have not received an email from you?

    either contact me on sales@ukshootwarehouse.com or rob@ukshootwarehouse.com.

     

    As for an update on the UV Jackets , they are on order direct from the manufacturer and we hope to have some by the end of the month!

     

    I'm waiting on some myself :unhappy:


    the ones that go on shell or full body, shoot ware house have none, i did email them 2 weeks ago but no reply.

     

     

    I have the same problem, I have 10 sillosock covers and they are brilliant but they do not seem to be selling them at the moment, I went on eBay and found some stretch ones about the same money, colouring is a little dark and if you put them on shells you cant stack them unless you cut the underside seam, to stop them falling off I glued them inside with some contact adhesive , they look good alongside dead birds and used them last time out to great effect, I would rather have had sillosock but never mind, perhaps they will have some new stock later. :yahoo::yahoo:

     

     

    think i will wait till they get some, thanks

     

     

    It's the European Union Shell Sock shortage!

  22. Winchester sx3

    Posted

    Hi its the black shadow in three half inch chamber,i used it sunday on clays,it shot fine as usual missed some,hit some,i find it a tad low in the comb so will have to look at changing the shims,a mate has a benelli he shoots really well with,he had a dozen or so shots with the sx3,never missed one,i need to put my silver pigeon away and shoot the sx3 and get used to it.Up to now its all positive,its had around 250 cartriges threw it not had a single miss feed as yet so hopefully will serve me fine.

    Exactly the same for me ... I've put about 500 -600 through mine now and not a single misfeed/jam ! So easy and light to pick up in the hide and very easy on the shoulder! Was torn between this and a Beretta A400 Xcel but would never sell this Winchester now or question getting the Beretta. Best gun for the money I've ever owned.

     

    But its all personal preference at the end of the day...

    It is the first time I've seen this brand. I cant see any problems with it, looks of good quality but for me i would go with Ridgeline or sealand every time for the money and Quality. I have a couple jackets of each and they have lasted me very well ( unless encountering barbed wire -.-) .

    Um, i bought the whole decoy,s So can i just take the sock off an put it on a shell, or wouldn`t that work ? but to be fair they have only just arrived so haven`t given them a go, might be an idea to give them a go first ,you think,lol.

    Personally i use a mixture of sillosock decoys (like the ones you've bought) and shells with the UV jackets on. So i would not advise taking the socks off the decoys. Give them a go! they give alot of movement to the pattern and are very light weight ! Also the jackets come with elastic so they grip the shells whereas the socks on the decoys don't.

     

    Let us know how you get on with them :)

    Can I ask where you got these from ?

    www.UKShootwarehouse.com

     

    We are the only distributors of the UV Sillosock Pigeon Jackets within the UK , And i'm very glad to hear so many people are liking them. I use them on all my shells myself and believe it makes them look a lot better.

     

    Unfortunately we have had a really big surge in orders on the UV Jackets and have sold a lot more than expected over the last month! So we are currently out of stock until the end April! :(
