Walker570 Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Anyone here put some decoys out when roost shooting ? Just wondered about a pattern on the edge of a roosting wood to draw birds to that area. I have considered putting up a lofting device to pull a couple up into the canopy. Thoughts ... by all means call me stupid .. I've been abused by professionals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Not stupid at all. Lofting poles or a rope up through the tree tops will help pull them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pykie Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Where I go, there is a field of kale right next to where the ride is where I intend to stand. From past experience, there is a flight line across it that sometimes the bird is just too far to reach. I was going to put a flapper just in the field facing towards me to try pull them a little closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeside1000 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 One wood I shot was mainly small 20 ft trees , lots of ivy and a few conifers, but in the middle of the wood were two very tall poplars, I just sat well camo'd under these trees and they came straight in , perfect , Last year we did a charity roost shoot for the local game keeper, I drew a large wood on the edge of some old stubble, the birds were going in and out across the stubble but not stopping, so 6 decoys and my magnets about 30 yards out from the tree line and in they came , had a busy afternoon then moved back into the wood as the light went for a couple more over the tree tops, I didnt think about putting some lofters up, but thats a good idea, something I will try this year.
