Decoying over sprouts

[molecatcher]

Just had a walk round my mates sprout crop and noticed pigeon feeding. Any advice on the best way to decoy on this crop as the sprout plants stand 2 foot high and pigeon land between the rows of plants feeding on the bottom of the plant.

Forget the pigeons just get some sprouts xmas is coming

 

I would just set the decoys up in a U pattern as best as possible myself as the birds will see this from up high as they come in..

 

Dont forget the sprouts

Cut some 3 foot long hazle sticks to lift the deeks above the sprouts.

Rotary on slow, flappers on long sticks just above the crop and/or a few bouncers

tape the sticks from your decs on to bamboo canes. 10p from garden centre. keep them for the summer for the standing wheat/barley.

If you've got shell deeks rest them on top of the plants in usual pattern to start, although I wouldn't be surprised if a more haphazard set-up worked better, and then use floaters or bouncers if you have to.

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the tips. Went today put a couple of floaters up on sticks over the top of the sprouts and a some on the deeks on the ground. Had a good few hours and 10 pigeons in the bag. Once again thanks for the help gents.
