hunterswind9465 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Hi Cranfield I think they were trying to imply that I have not been using it in any Photos with bags of pigeons. As explained I didn't want any others to see what I was working on until proven to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 A thing that has always bugged me is,why are the wings at 90" to each other? The duck ones,as loved by our cousins over the pond,are on a horizontal bar and spin constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 The wings also appear to spin "inside out" on part of the revolution, but I don't think that ornithological accuracy is that important. I have always believed that anything that brings movement to a decoy layout is good and will attract pigeons. Whether its worth paying over £100 for a Pecking, or Wing Spinning decoy, as against a Floater/spring stick shell decoy, is the real question. Personally, I don't think it is, but others will have a different view and buy these items. That is their perogative. I have friends who shoot very respectable amounts of pigeons, without using any electrically driven decoys at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webber Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I bought one of Deakos flappers at its first launch via PW, and have been very pleased with the results. Regardless of the position of a pigeons feet about to land; I have never, not even once saw a pigeon rotate its wings 360 degrees . Im reasonably sure that I saw a similar product at the Midlands show a couple of years ago, and was less than impressed then. If I was going to put my hand deep into my pocket it would be to buy another flapper. I feel that the price is too high. I wonder if they shoot pigeons in China? There is no point in my waiting for my mate to buy one, because he will be waiting for me. My pockets shall remain welded up. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamspartacus Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I must say that for of all the decoy sessions I have done, there has never been any substitute for real birds on floaters and in the pattern. I have a magnet and it obviously has its day but for consistent results its back to basics for me! Certainly not when you have to fork out in excess of 50 beer tokens for the new gadget. Might have a go at making one though?!? IAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 There on ebay for £125............ http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZdecoying-ukQQhtZ-1 So you can buy it on the site for £130 or on ebay for £125 whats up with that Deako? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikkan Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Looks like a alright decoy, but it's most definitive NOT worth 130£. :unsure: Maybe no half that price again. But thats just my opinion. My guess is that it is like you guys say.. Just to "Milk" some cash out of a person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterswind9465 Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Plenty of knocking going on. Remember I made the very first Pigeon Magnets !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are far better than any floater, magnet !!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Plenty of knocking going on. Remember I made the very first Pigeon Magnets !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are far better than any floater, magnet !!!!!! I dont think its so much "knocking" more a little sceptisicm? I know myself personally even though I owned a magnet, that I was not totally convinced by them, (until?) then I bought another, However there are so many "gadgets" ie flappers, ultimate peckers,pecking percy's, flapping magnets etc etc,that its now akin to the latest electronics in that they are out of date before you get them home! and admit it £130 is a bit to shell out on a trial and error basis, ps have pm.d you and e mailed but have had no reply? cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was given a magnet, which stays in the garage most of the time unless I can drive to where I am going to shoot. I think I would rather carry one of the new ones being touted here.

Poacher Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 looks pretty decent me thinks. however people are always 'Ludites' when it comes to new things (especially when dipping into the ole pockets)...I'm sure there will be more interest once theres some good reviews.........

Kikkan Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Pete buy it and bring it up here next week I have thousands of pigeons on Beans just now !!!!!!!! Would maybe be better to try it a place with less pigeons. That's like "fishing in a fish tank". Dont prove anything Of corse he will get pleased if it's thousands of pigeons there.. I mean how can you not shoot a decent bag there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
