I've had a couple of attempts at decoying on rape on a local farm this year. Poor bags resulted. However, sandwiched between two rape fields was a sugar beet field. I thought my fortunes would change when the field was harvested. This week it was. I don't have permission to shoot the land - my friend does. On Thursday there was a large amount of activity on the beet tops and not one pigeon on the rape, just as expected. My friend and i arrived at the field at 8am this morning. Around 800 pigeons lifted. Good start. We watched for a bit and decided where to set up. We made the hide around a post in the middle of the field. Around thirty dead birds and a magnet made up the pattern. A second magnet was added after a while. Pigeons were everywhere at times but many were reluctant to decoy. There were still plenty of birds coming in, though, mainly in small bunches. The action was never hectic, but the sport was steady throughout the day. We both shot some good birds, but i felt i was a little rusty. We packed up before 4pm. We ended a very enjoyable day with 129 pigeons. . .
