Lord v Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Any recommendations for when I'm feeling too lazy to fiddle with poles and nets? The a1 ones look good and are certainly well priced but worried they might be a bit small for a gentlemen of *ahem* larger proportions.

Fatcatsplat Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 You see a hell of a lot for sale with "only used once" as a tagline. Think that says enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbower Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I bought one about four years ago , and wouldn't be without it, a TP pop up from bushcraft.. 1 zip has gone on it now , but i have used it hundreds of times , for rabbit ambush (it will be out again this evening), Pigeons coming in to decoy patterns (mostly fuds and a couple of flocked wobblers). Its roofed so limited but ample vision. They are not everyones cup of tea ., but being a lazy sod , I carry my deeks in a 'bucket seat , with swivel top , pop the hide up , put the deeks out , get out the 12g sxs and some 'clear pigeon', , then a flask and most importantly HOBNOBS! I even camped out in it last month , to get a fox that had killed a couple of the farmers geese. Its waterproof to a degree, and with the aid of a tin of 'raid fly spray ' i dont get 'midged ' that often either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I have the Bush Craft TP and must say it is a handy piece of kit for ambushing and has seen the demise of a lot of rabbits, squirrels and munties but I might not want to use it for decoying, a bit too confined. I did once have a folding hide like an igloo I made myself which worked great but now I have gone back to poles and camo. Endless different ways to set them up. Put half a roof on for corvids but leave it open for pigeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
