motty Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Some people have a problem with putting a hide out in the open because they think pigeons will see it and take notice of it, as if it were something to be afraid of. I've used basic net hides in the middle of fields and pigeons often pass right over my head or beside me. Remember, pigeons don't know what a hide is and don't look for one when entering a field. As protom said, try blending it in if you like,but in my experience it's not really necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKPoacher Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 The thing I would say about putting a net hide up in the middle of a field is that many camo nets aren't opaque when there is light behind. Try setting up a hide away from a hedge and look at it from where yourdeeks are and also from where the flight line is. If you can see through it, they can! Better to build a natural hide out of foliage or bales where possible.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
