Hide Material


Stoves

Recommended Posts

I've got an ex army vehicle camo net (4.5m x 4.5m) doubled over so its 2m by 4.5m - this should give me at least a metre around me.

 

Saying that - I've yet to try it out.

 

Don't pay too much for camo netting though - mail me for details if you struggle.

I built a hide using an army cammo net 10ft square. I bought some fibre-glass poles from the tent shop for a dome tent and also some nylon webbing about 0.5" wide, sew loops either end of the webbing and use it to lay on floor and keep the tension in the poles (dome shape). Then I threw the netting over the top and it blended in pretty good near the hedge and excellent in the woodland.

I'm using Deben Camoreal, in both patterns, but in my (limited) experience for pigeons the material is immaterial (excuse pun).

 

Rule #1 is to keep absolutely dead still, and preferably keep below the top of the hide until the last moment then pop up and shoot.

 

It seems to me to be movement that spooks the pigeons more than what the hide is made out of. Also important to keep your hands and face covered - they will pick up movement more if they are bare - and if the pigeons are in close try not to blink or have too much eye movement either (honest!) :unsure:
