Edwin Mark 3 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 I have never tried evening pigeon decoying as I live 80 miles round trip to my farm. Is it worth a trip out after work next week now the rape has been cut ?maybe between 5 and 8 pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead eye alan Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 NO you need to check to see if pigeons are on it first it could be a wasted trip, try phoning farmer first, today the pigeons dried up at 2.15! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not look on a Friday night , and if he think its worth a go then go earlier on a Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenholland Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 just lately , I found they were active 12/30 ish till about 3 then nothing , if you have got all day to play with that's fine , then they might switch on again early evening , but every one has different situation's eyeball is the key as been said good luck.
