Hi all, new member here.
I am going to have a try on some pigeons tomorrow on a field of oil seed rape, only shot clays before so is a whole new thing for me.
I have a look this afternoon there is a big gang of pigeons in a tree about 200 yrs away(not on my permission) now and again a odd few fly to my field.
I have some poles,net and about a dozen half body decoys, unfortunately no flapper or magnet yet.
After any advice for the morning, looks like it will be fairly cold, maybe a bit of drizzle and 15 to 20mph wind.
How early should I get set up for? How long should I give it before i give up/alter pattern move hide if I get nothing coming in?
if I set up as close as I can to the tree where they are I will be near a hedge but not on the side where they would see my pattern should I go out further into the field?
any advice appreciated.
Thanks ploughman.
