finreid Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 read in an old shooting mag (2009 ish) that if you couldnt put your hide underneath the flight line you could just set up your deeks and hide further along the hedge, and put your magnet under the flight line with a couple of plastic white bags on it, which would push the birds over to your pattern, where it was "safe". has anyone else heard of this/ tried it out???

pegasus bridge Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 i have not tried this ; but i have been thinking about tinkering with an old rotary and turning it into a rotisserie for use with my gas bbq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big simmo999 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I've put my rotary with carrier bags on it way down the other side of a large field to deter the birds from landing there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu nesling Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 good idea if you could predict which side they would go to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Gould Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) good idea if you could predict which side they would go to most people on this forum will tell you to just keep you pigeons on it as they scare pigeons. not me though i love em !.i would not personaly use a magnet to scare pigeons as they are rather heavy to use to scare pigeons when you could just use rope bangers which would prob work better or cd's on sticks or fertaliser bags on stick (much lighter) Edited April 17, 2012 by Matt Gould Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu nesling Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 wouldn't be without one either, only rare days they dont work. cant afford banger ropes at 5 quid each, cos im poor! wish i could as they would have improved many bags. cheapest option is another shooter have an unlimited source of 6m foil bags that cut nicely into strips...good for flagging off strips when on canes .

malkiserow Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Supermarket shopping bags on a magnet..... I did this and it drove the birds crazy ........ but the wrong birds! The horsey girls went nuts as the noise was upsetting the horses 500 yards away! farmer told me to carry on but no point making enemies on the farm so packed it in.
