mellors Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 :blink: :blink: You know how it goes you sit there thinking whats wrong they seem interested then they veer away. Well i think i.ve got it I,ve adapted my magnet one side with an extra bit sticking 2ft up above the fixed decoy or dead bird and bent it to take one hyperflap. this makes it look like its flying with the magnet. believe me they come straight in and follow it. I haven.t had a full day with it yet but 3hrs they kept coming from a long way off perfectly. This could be it .

Teal Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I get the impression- but may be corrected- that mellors is suggesting some sort of "double decker" magnet, an interesting idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Country Boy Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 It's very sad all you guys frittering away your lives pratting about with un-necessary gizmos Try honeing your longforgotten hunting skills locked away deep in your subconscious, instead of attempting to modify some crowd-pulling gamefair-gadget My kit: 20g Semi-auto / 100 cartridges / 4 x hide poles(N+S) / Stealth Net (UKShootW) / 12 shell deeks (old) / 2 x Floaters (Simplex Gliders) 2 x Dead Birds / SS 1 litre flask / Lt. weight folding seat /Mini binos / Cigarettes+Zippo. Total 5.5kg. Lots of times I don't have to cart it either I go to where I want to shoot from in my Landy and sometimes I even shoot out of the back of it :blink: C.B.

nav54 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 dont have to rely on it mate I went sunday with 12 deeks a bouncer and hide and shot 17 which was fun and good sport in the wind we had, but sometimes that little something does help and on some farms where i go they want me there to do a job and shoot as many as poss.

mellors Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Will get photo on by weekend. This adaption is mainly for the big fields when your on your own.We all know you do a good recky for a couple of days before hand. but these big areas the flight line moves 200 yards you move or just sit there. Just an idea if it works regular then we are doing a good job. Non of us want to wipe them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
