wattsowatts Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Last night and again tonight there must have been between 100 and 150 birds feeding on beech in a small wood (couple of acres). About 100 yds away from the wood is maize cover crop with an oak tree that the birds use as a ‘sitty tree’. Some of the birds were dropping down on the maize, but the vast number were moving into the beech wood. When I shot in the wood several weeks ago I had two shots and all the birds cleared off. My question is, do you think it would be worth putting decoys out on the maize and setting up the hide under the oak tree. Would the decoys be successful in pulling the birds onto the maize even though there attention is on the beech?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popgun Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 If some of the birds are dropping into the maize strip you are in with a chance of decoying a few get set up before the birds come to the wood and they will see the decoys on the way in, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
