motty Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 i bought a roll of the summer stuff you have got and used a bit to make a large poncho out of it, i use it during the summer in the late afternoon when time is short and work is long ! some great pics you boys......really important to dress the hide if you have time..........keep em coming.....lots of food for thought....... Dress the hide? I take it you mean add foliage to the hide. This is totally unnecessary and a waste of time in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Dress the hide? I take it you mean add foliage to the hide. This is totally unnecessary and a waste of time in my opinion. I have to agree with you Motty. I think as long as you can move to take the shot without the birds seeing you your ok, it doesn't have to blend in imho. But it does make you feel rather smug when you make it "disappear". There have been times I have pulled the truck up to the hide and started loading up and the birds have ignored it and still come in which kind of proves the point for me Bare hands flashing about and faces peeking over the top of the hide will make them flare Edited February 22, 2013 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hide needs to "HIDE" you from the pigeons and be quick to set up! The army need to blend in and be able to cover up tanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Heres one we did a couple of years ago. I had to explain to my lad the effect of peering over the top of the hide!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
