Peskyfoxs Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I have about 80-100 acres of maize just starting to grow and I wondered if maize was any good for pigeons, not seen many about yet but am I in for a bumper crop come harvest time ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Maize will not be attractive to pigeon until it has ripe cobs on , it will also depend on what its being grown for , if its cattle fodder then its unlikely it will provide much sport . If its for game cover though you could be in for a bumper bag when its flailed at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peskyfoxs Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Its for cattle fodder, I have managed to decoy onto grass near where the maize is now so maybe here is a little hope of a bit of sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filzee Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I have some land to shoot on and the farmer said he is worried the pigeons will eat off all the cover crop so might have to give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy pete Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 While I'd agree maize isn't usually all that good I had a nice bag a few years back over a field just popping through the ground. They decoyed in well all afternoon for approx 50-60 picked (it was a few years back) I'd give it a good look, maybe worth a go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
