harveykeitel22 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Went to have a look on this freshly cut maize, and as soon as i turned up there was about 100 pigeons on there, i thought im in for a good day here, set up my hide, decoys, and waited for a few hours and nothing, they didnt come back, i know for a fact that there wasnt any other freshly cut maize in the area, so very strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bout 60-80 lifted thought I was in for a good day but hardly got a shot off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Maybe the pigeons had already got a good cropfull and weren't in any hurry to come back.Pigeons can fill up very quickly on maize. Sometimes it can pay to be on the maize at first light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proTOM1 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 What time of day was this then got thousands hitting maize now but finding it hard to decoy them as there in huge flocks ,hoping they will start to break up soon . Been getting a few good days but some poor days aswell such as today had a client out on maize first 5 birds came in great then they just would not decoy but we were seeing thousands ,moved to another spot and it was the same first 8 birds came in a treat then the same happened no matter what we did just 1 of them days . Lets hope tomorrow is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrikirkby Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Same here, got there this morning and there were probably 800 birds flew off so i got my hide and deeks out and got 2 birds early on and missed a couple and that was it! Upped and moved and then when i was leaving for home i went past the first lot of maize and it was a sea of grey !! One thing i did note in the morning when i first set up a couple of crows came in low and nearly landed and pigeons appeared from everywhere so the crows obviously give the pigeons confidence as a few of them actually landed !! Must get me some crow deeks i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
