lewis2012 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Going shooting tomorrow ( mid day ) on a farm that's just been cut. I have around 15 flocked crow decoys, 10 pigeon shell + 2 pigeon flocked. Dont know if its best to put pigeons in horse shoe and a few crows to the side or does any1 have any other ideas as new to decoying. I like shooting pigeons but id rather shoot crows so looking for a sort of universal pattern that could attract both pigeons and crows. Thanks all lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr pigeon Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Start off like u say mate. Try and get the wind on your back and probably most of all get on the spot where they want to feed! If not as near as. See how you go and change if they aren't committing. Good luck bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deny essex Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Horse shoe and V shape patterns can work but for the beginner to understand decoy layout, kill zone and range they are a basic kick off point, gaining the experience of dropping birds within the kill zone and over a set decoy range layout being advantageous to know to get your eye , gun, mount and reactions in sync. Altering the pattern from the basic horseshoe and V pattern as experience gained and the birds dictate on the day.
