Blackpowder Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 re your decoys new and shiny, was it wet making them shiny or do you use flocked decoys. Dead pigeon are hard to beat as a decoy, but of course you have to shoot them first, really dedicated pigeon shooters will keep a dozen from previous outings in fridge or freezer. However when pigeon are ,'hot' on a field or particular crop they will drop in even when you are out setting up more dead birds as decoys.
