Wildfowler12 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) So, I've been keeping a close eye on these guys... But they are impossible to decoy. One shot and they're off to the next county (or more precisely, the rape up the road). I tried again this morning, but had the same result. The odd few that came back where not at all interested in the decoys, so I packed up and walked in to the wood instead. I'd booked the day off so may as well have spent it outside? They where few and far between, but presented some really challenging shots when they came. I finished up with 12 (and 1 over the boundary).

magman Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 well done Tod finding much the same at the moment , bouncers seem to work with the decoys better than the magnet at the minute and now thinking the lofting pole's are due a day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good shot? Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Up to three / four weeks ago had literally thousands of woodpigeon doing the same around one of my permissions.Lofting decoys was the only thing that brought me a bit of good sport. Make the most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caeser Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Nice one Tod. Thats a decent result right now. Roost shooting seems to be the only way to get a few in the bag at the moment. I'm having the same problem with them in the fields. They've got about half a dozen fields of rape to chose from all within a mile or so of each other. I can shoot over them all, but I end up chasing them all over Yorkshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
