where should i put pigeon spinner

[dogdigger]

hi going out out on stubble field tomorrow for pigeon, had some good days in the past with just decoys

I have now got a spinner but not had much success with it I seem to put them off coming over the pattern

if I use a basic u shape pattern where should I put the spinner.

thanks

I have always assumed that the rotary is supposed to look like birds landing.

Its my experience that incoming pigeons always land at the rear of any birds already on the ground (they may leap frog later).

So , I always place my rotary at the rear of my ground decoys , where I want incoming pigeons to land.

 

I know other members swear by putting them at the head of the layout, or even to one side.

Pays your money and takes your choice.

You'll probably get a few different views on this, but if I'm shooting into the wind and the head of the U is facing me, I put the magnet at the head of the U but slightly to one side. This sometimes does the trick, but I've also had days when it's definitely put them off. More so in sunny weather and over stubble it seems, where the magnet and arms seem to stand out a bit more.

thanks for the tips guys

i get where your coming from Blunderbuss I've only used it on stubble fields and they are quite big and green against the yellow stubble

I've got all day on them tomorrow so might give it a go on a grass field i know they hit for the clover , see if i do any better there

thanks
