Harvest/stubble netting??


Recommended Posts

As Jdog says, it isn't strictly necessary to match your background. However, I like to try to a certain degree, if I can.

Today I set up a hide in the centre of a rape field. The hide was of a sandy colour. We shot 70 pigeons.

Can't remember now, had it for years, may have been "camonets.com". Loads of sellers though. As Motty above, use this as a free standing hide when there's no option but to set up in the middle of a field.

That's pretty much what I need it for, rye stubble field that the pigeon are feeding on, all on a patch of laid/failed crop in the middle of a field!

If you do get some and think that you might need it on occasion, a couple of tips that I discovered were handy. A door. At the back of the square-ish hide, two extra poles one with a short length of net and the other with a longer piece set at angles allowing you to walk through but the angles prevented anything seeing in. A roof. Initially cut a bit of net and draped it over the rearmost poles, but this was fiddly. So bought 2 extra poles, cut the extending portion of each in half and Araldited in a good foot or more of appropriate sized rod to extend the length/height on the 'door' - sorted.

Whilst I agree that matching the background is not entirely necessary and lack of movement in the hide is more important. However, I think most try our best at concealment so perhaps it's a confidence builder that it blends in as much as possible.

I use a desert net very kindly given to me (amongst other things) by Brian (Cranfield) a couple of years ago when buying some other stuff from him and I find it great at harvest time. Thanks again Brian :thanks:
