yickdaz Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) i knew this particular field was being cut yesterday (sunday) so I planned a day on the field today, this farmer dosn't usually hang around its cut, spread with muck, and disced within 2 days normally , no farm machinery in the field all day which was good, I found birds already on it at 10am pushed a good 300 off the field 100 yards from a large wood we normally flight the birds over but there is a 30 yard wide conservation strip runs all around the wood so I decided to put the hide right on the edge of it and decoy the stubble could of just flighted them as they came over the wood but would of dropped most in the waist high strip it was tricky at first they didn't want to decoy at all strangely because they hadn't been shot on the field we was taking passing shots, high birds and crossers moved the rotary around a few times eventually got them to cut across the front of the hide for slightly easier shooting got a portion to decoy once dead birds were added, but it was mainly flighted birds great sport and very testing after a good look round the edge of the wood and just inside it found 4 that was pricked earlier finished on 74 picked 4 lost Edited August 12, 2013 by yickdaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Good effort. One day you will have a day's decoying when everything is in your favour and we will be reading about a 200 bird day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantinos Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Great bag, what netting are you using for your hide? Looks like this from UKSW:- http://www.ukshootwarehouse.com/-new-stealth-professional-2-ply-camo-netting I use it with a camo burlap cloth inside to cut down shadows. Sometimes throw some bog standard army camo netting over the top of the stealth to add some weight to counter gusts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
