dazza Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 your right kikkan where theres 1000's you could probably attract them with a blow up doll, send one over here and I'll see if it works on the 10 pigeons that I see annually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya 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? would still work ie you could try with your own "standard gear" deeks and rotaries, and compare pulling power of the spinner/ flapper with the rotaries removed, and or added to the set up cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 In testing the effectiveness of new decoying machines, its almost impossible to conduct an experiment to scientific standards, as there are so many variables. If any kind of decoy, layout , etc., gives the Shooter confidence, then it works for them. Buying these gadgets is a personal choice.

kdubya Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Nice bit of kit, good to see new equipment on the market...I suppose if ukshootwarehouse had it in stock it would be the best thing since sliced bread...who is it that sponsors this site??? Look to me it makes no difference "who" the supplier / sponsor is? all I am interested in is A) does the sodding thing work do I need to buy a donkey/ llama / pack horse to shift it and the rest of my gear C) is the price fair for what you get up to now answers A) word has it it does ( no independant verification yet) watch this space? its lighter than a magnet and seemingly can be used in a pattern without a magnet. C) dont know never yet seen one soon to be seen however. my answer rather than knock the product or get involved in a slanging match as to who's best, shame really as Will and Phil beasley are decent folk who supply and support their gear well. and I have dealt with deako and have no complaints there either, so the answer for me was to put my hand in my pocket and buy a sod, so hopefully next weekend I will try it out, if it is just hype and not effective, ebay should help recoup my loss, so there you have it one non ludite either getting a new pigeon vacuum cleaner or falling for the three card trick either way I will soon find out cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kikkan Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Im wondering about this device too. I think ill give it ago, but i cant say that it's the best decoy gear just because one scottish guy had a good day. I have never even tested a "normal"pigeon magnet here in Norway, but i bought one anyway. I read on another norwegian forum that they did not have any better luck with a normal magnet, but as you all know, we all have our bad huntingdays. Now im wondering if i should sell my untested magnet and get me one of theese new decoys. or maybe use both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I would certainly try your "Magnet", before deciding to get rid of it. Its value for resale is not going to affected much, if you use it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikkan Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 ill give the normal magnet a go then.. trust you on this just to bad i can't test it before the 21 august (not allowed to hunt before that date) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country Boy Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Here in Yorkshire we are developing the Mother of All Decoys (MAD - pat pending) Can't say much at the minute until all the secret tests ( sorry hunterswind9469 ) have been concluded. But very briefly it is a remote controlled wireless solar powered lifelike internal framed foamy that glides down from the sitty tree, skips around at crop height and lands into the pattern, pecks a bit, alternately flapping and spinning it's wings whilst walking amongst the static decoy pattern, then lifts up flies around in circles before floating around the edge of the pattern then finally going back into the tree and cooing for ten minutes? Seriously, it is so much fun that actually shooting pigeons will become secondary to being a MAD operative!!!! Cheers, CB:} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
