Ultrastu Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 I do use camo .yes. Esecially a hat and face veil . As thats the bit that pops up over the hide net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonmealing001 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Would you say it matters which Camo you use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bala Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 If you have a good hide and cant be seen you can wear your best suit. Its all about movement. In the summer my lad shoots in shorts and no top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Camouflage attire is certainly not essential when pigeon shooting, especially from a hide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. A cap helps hide your forehead though and keep the sun out of your eyes. Movement is what they notice more than anything.

Mtp or dpm thanks Do we all use camo ? , no we don't , have a look at the clothing P C ( Pigeon Controller ) wear , dark Green shirt and trousers , I used to wear dirt cheap German shirts and cargo trousers from the army surplus stores , strong as a ox and last for ever , well maybe not ever but a long , long time . Now I have gone up market and wear any clothing I would wear on a shooting , beating or any day I am out with my gun If you feel more concealed wearing camo then wear it but its not really necessary .

Harnser Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I very rarely use camouflage gear and normally wear neutral colour jackets and sweaters . I have a couple of camouflage water proof jackets that I used to use for fowling . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonmealing001 Posted October 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 So some dark clothes and a hat should do the trick no need to go Rambo style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 There was an article once where a guy made a hide using Orange netting that's used on roadworks etc. The pigeons still came into his decoys. As mentioned, movement is what spooks them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
