What type of decoys do you use ?

 

I use a mixture os shell decoys which are flocked and full bodied with legs which aren't flocked

 

I also use flocked flying decoys on the pigeon magnet

 

I can say the flocked ones are more realistic and I have had better days just using flocked ones

Definitely flocked. All my old decoys have been converted and any new ones I buy are flocked or none shine. If you want to gain the best advantage it's another aid. Of course you can use the real thing but they get pretty messy after a while and in summer become a magnet in themselves for flies :thumbs:

Flocked decoys do not shine when wet and do look realistic.

How much that matters, is a subject for debate.

 

There have been some very cheap , shiny plasticky, shell decoys about for years and they tend to have given "basic" decoys a bad name.

They are better than gas guns at scaring pigeons.

 

I use flocked and good quality rubber decoys in my pattern and the pigeons seem to find them attractive.

If I couldn't afford flocked decoys I would use the rubber ones with confidence.

 

When I was a lad we used glass milk bottles with a ring of white paint round the neck.

Then there was the cut out aluminium ones, hand painted..........

They all attracted pigeons.
