martinsyde rob Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi there hello to you all. I need some advice, ive got a small bit of rough ground that has fields on three sides of it, i have shot pigeon on it just by walking up with the dog and taking them as the odd ONE flys over. when i try to decoy them they dont want to know there are loads feeding in the fields but they just fly off after first shot never to return. I have tryed all the pattens you have shown on the site but nothing even got a rotary still nothing same every time. what would you? by the way im new to all this a s you can tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballymac Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi and welcome. I assume you are trying to decoy on the rough ground, while the pigeons are feeding in the fields around you. If you can shoot in the fields where they are feeding it will make decoying that bit easier, but does not guarantee that they will not fly away after first shot. You could of course spend lots of money buying all the latest gadgets and decoys that have come on the market recently, and still get no pigeons, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundowner Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi and welcome on here. Trust me, we all have days like these when there is nothing flying over, never mind coming in. But it also reminds me of something my dad used to ask me when I was a little lad. "There are 10 pigeons on a wire, u shoot one, how many are left?"
