AYA117 Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 😁😁 If you have sat in the hide for a long time and not seen any pigeons, here are 3 sure fire ways to see some 1 Stand up and stretch your legs 2 Roll a cigarette, if you do not smoke consider rolling one anyway and as you look up you will see a pigeon just about to be out of range. 3 Use your phone, texting works quite well but making or receiving call works very well. I hope these tips are of use to others and please add to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Christopher Jones Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 4/ stand up to **** out of the hide 5/ decide to pack up & a rabbit behind the hide in range, until it saw you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 My one which is tried and tested over many years is , get the flask out , pour a coffee and you can bet a pound to a penny a pigeon will hover over the decoys while the cup is going towards your mouth .

That's the fishermans curse too! Cup between your legs pouring coffee and after hours of no action.....you get a bite! Result....hot coffee all over your lap! And you miss the ******* bite anyway!

Ultrastu Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Ditchy Thats what i was gonna say . Its especially true if your woods stalking for squirrels etc .stop for a pee and your sure to have one laughing at you from 20 yds away. It happens to me so often ive started faking having a pee to see if i can catch them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYA117 Posted August 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Why was none of this in Archie Coats book. Oh and number 2, if you see a pigeon in the process of rolling and chuck it on the ground the pigeon will never come in range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 I don't know how many times when things have come to a standstill that I have said to myself , I will give it another 10 minutes and in that time a pigeon creates another shot and then a half an hour later since the last shot you again say , give it another 10 mins and the same thing happens again , At one time when I smoked I would always have one more fag and then I would pack up , now I have my little radio on a Saturday and during the football season I often pack up when the whistle is blown for full time .

This season may be difficult listening for you MM after last night’s result. You may have to switch to Radio 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to switch to Radio 4. That was a game of two halves , if they had played the second half first , they would have gone in at half time a goal in front , not many teams would do that at Liverpool , as it was they didn't so it's another bit of useless information . I am not sure weather we have got anywhere high enough in our county for a aerial for Radio 4 , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
