kdubya Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 things are well looking up after a very mediochre spell took my mate hawkeye to a bit of my permission, I knew birds were about having bagged 19 on tuesday (till my magnet deciced to go into self distruct) anyway magnet repaired and set up today with two magnets both with hypa flaps and 6 silly socks that hawkeye bought from hesky and four real birds on cradles set to the rear and between the magnets, result 70 birds and in truth should have been a fair few more, best day on winter rape for a long time, and a pleasure to see the birds decoying well. cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 So was it the hyper flaps and the sillysocks that did it do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 So was it the hyper flaps and the sillysocks that did it do you think? Put it like this we did not replace the hypa flaps with real birds? first time I have seen the silly socks in action, they look better in the field and from distance than you expect, as to the effectiveness in amongst the rape I am not sure, but think they will be a killer on stubble, best bit of the day was the amount of birds landing amongst the few birds we put out as decoys. cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Cheers Kieth it was a great day thanks for the invite, as you said it was like last April when we were at Will Beasleys birds all over the place, they didnt seem to stop flying all day and considering the size of the field, and that there was 4 of them all together them Hyper flaps certainly worked on the 2 magnets, Quite windy at times and i think this helped with the sillosocks (THANKS HESKY) they have me convinced will have to get some more. As Kieth said they will look even better on stubble the rape today was about a foot high so we set them up in the tram lines where the tractors had been. We both had some great shots Kieth had one it was a hell of a height i ended up going halfway across the bloody field to get it next time go get your own mate...!!!! :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
