browning n spaniel Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'm not saying i know best, but i like to give people advice based on reason and logic. I will always disagree with people who say something doesn't work, without giving a reason why it doesn't work. I disagree when people say that magnets don't work or that pigeons can't be shot with 7.5 shot, though i've shot plenty using both. Looks like you were losing the debate - you had to start trying to insult me. not at all mate iv said what my reasons are for not using cradles on drillings , you wont have it, so get on with it , shot more pigeons than you've ever seen , so what would I no about decoying??

You've not given any reasons why. I could put pigeons on cradles at 18 inches on a bare rape field tomorrow and have them decoy fine.

Therefore the premise is the same - birds on cradles 'floating' above the bare ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilberts1989 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Why can't people get on?? Like I said, what works on one field won't nessiserly work on another. I stood next to a hedge without I hide the other day and the pigeon where coming straight in to the pattern no problem. That works on my permision, doesn't mean I'm going to start going around saying that using a hide won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead eye alan Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Sorry to start this of boys but it does work with cradles on bare ground, if the wings are broken on a few and let them hang down faceing the wind adds a little movement. No outher gizmos required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrispti Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I find the flappers give the birds that little bit more confidence to come right into the decoys and land. Most of the time I have 2 groups of decoys with a gap in between them, if I use the flapper, it goes at the front of the gap, but I rearly use it on short crops or stubble. I only really use flappers in standing crops nowadays, I put the flappers on long Sticks above the crop, imitates the birds trying to balance on the top to feed.

jayDT10 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Just like to make a little piont about cradles being 18inches of the ground , you do realise that you can push them in a little further to say 4inches if ya worried about the whole floating in mid air thing. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
