GunGuy Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hi guys, as I said in the. Welcome forum, I have just returned to shooting after a break of some years... So, I have collected my 'starter' kit....... Stealth camo net, 10 flock shells and one flocked full body deek, one flapper with timer, one dead bird bouncer and a bouncer with a hypaflap deek....... Any views?anything missing? I would appreciate any input, positive or negative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86inch Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Sounds OK to me.. I started with a stealth net+4 poles, 12 FUDs and that was it.. seemed to draw them in well enough in the right location/conditions. I recently bought a magnet, and only been out with it once so i can't tell if it will prove to be worthwhile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Insurance ( I use SACS ) Thats better To be fair i would say magnet can at times put off birds but when it works there nothing like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerboy Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Ok ok, so, I have a gun, I have BASC insurance.......and carts...... And I think I now have my first permission.....soooooo..... ? If you let us know where you are maybe someone can come out with you and show you the ropes. And possibly lend you/show you equipment that you may not have or have used before, magnet and flapper for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think I now have my first permission.....soooooo..... ? Get out and enjoy it,Its not just about shooting tons of birds,getting out and observing and enjoying your time out is what matters as much.the more time you spend out the more you will learn buy observation,ie driving around and watching the birds....Point in case have a look at the pigeon controllers posts and see how long he drives around doing he homework before he even thinks about setting up atb Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunGuy Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Tin hat on, I will remember that beerdeor. As for the homework thing, I do appreciate that. I have spent the last few weeks doing nothing but driving round and sitting observing....... With bino's and coffee.... Then asking for permission for any likely spots. Actually, I enjoy the whole reconnaissance and pigeon psychology thing almost as much as the shooting........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunGuy Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Paid particular attention to flightlines in and out...... also the fact that they sometimes seem to feed on a field then move to another field to put their feet up....... then return to original field........ I do have one thought, that is, if shooting a field where they are feeding but also sitting in tree...... should you set up near the tree or as far from it as possible.... the tree have in mind would seem to be at the intersection between two flightlines....
