Kenzie Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Throw a little corn in the water next september and i'm sure you will see a duck or two. Remember to only shoot them in season with non toxic though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 wowa id be scared to shoot with that many houses around. And fear of having some old lady report you to the police when shes looking out her window :( Looks like you need to build a propper hide, and get some decoys on it. Bait the area well, and see what happens.. otherwise you just have to get lucky when something lands/hops onto the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve3562 Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 any tips on making a hide? i am using a 22. air rifle at around 30-35 yards can i use decoys effectivly at these ranges? thanks for your replys m8s steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidsalmon Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Most of my hides for shooting pigeons with an airgun usually sit behind a fence bordering the field i intend to shoot. I then dress the fence to suit its surroundings as best as i can. To shoot pigeons with an airgun you need them to land, obviously, so some full-bodied decoys are usefull, so not to scare them off so easily. I set these out at around 20m (30m being my usual maximum range.) Dont expect enormous bags tho mate. Cheers SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stupidsalmon Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Heres a previous post of mine where i do regular pigeon decoying with an airrifle (however on this occasion bag was rather small due to the age of the drilled land): Decoys + Air rifle Cheers SS P.S. afraid theres no actual pics of the hides i used (some from within.) I will try to post some up asap, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazza Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 For squirrels you could try this. put a couple of pallets( or however many needed to make a sound back stop) where you think squirrels will run, and put a small pile of corn in front of them. Wait for the squirrels to come to the corn, and if their in the right place, with a good backstop, shoot them. It may take a little while for the squirrels to find the food, but when they do, they'll be there regulary. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR SAFE. If your not sure, ask someone who has plenty of experience, and listen to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve3562 Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 i ahve had 4 pigeons in 3 days which i think is good going. i have only seen one squirrle down there will there be more? can i help me on stalking rabbits in the day i saw one yesurday and i turned to craig and said we should crawl he said no walk up the hedge. so we did that and the bunnie went would crawling help? any tips would be appreated thanks steve :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 You did well with the pigeons, and if you've seen one squirrel, there are probably more. With the rabbits, I would leave until the light is going, and SILENTLY(cause they have big ears) creep up on them. Some lads that I know actually sit, or lay out waiting for the rabbits to pop out.

Ferret Master Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi, Wait silently and statue like behind a bush near where they come out in the evening and shoot them then. FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
