What are you using as decoys plastic or real birds? Try putting it close in and if the wind is right to left put it down wind in front if your pattern if they flair off they should be in the KILL ZONE( oh no not that again) When it's set up does it look like two birds chasing each other or a scarecrow??0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Some times a magnet doesn't work, but when birds spook as they come in it can be for loads of reasons, poor hide,sudden movement, upside down dead bird, etc, etc. Check everything, but if the birds came in after you took the magnet down, then it may have just been one of those days when it didn't work, but don't write it off, they work more often than not.
