Teal Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Just curious, a T-Shirt has great disadvantages in that your camo net needs to be good if they don't see your arms, that said, i've been out some days when it's essential to wear one, because otherwise you'd get fried. I have to confess never trying shooting in shorts though, finding a shady place to set up a hide is the best tip I've got. I once read someone took a brolly to try and shield them from the sun - not sure what the pigeons would make of this? What do you guys do, have any of you ever worn suncream out shooting and also what do you do with the shot birds in this heat to ensure they don't get flyblown while lying out on the field as deeks, or do you just debreast them and fry them fly eggs and all like real men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millo2 Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I often shoot in shorts and a vest under a net realtree suit. Works a treat. I put my pigeons in a wet hessian sack in the bottom of my barrel seat, does the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webber Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 No he didnt, he didnt buy the large one, which is surprising as he seems to have a problem in judging the size of things! Nothing wrong in going commando, just keep off the Guiness! webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I bring a cool box with me, the sort you put freezer blocks in. You can use it as a seat. It's useful for keeping the beer cold and you can put the shot pigeons into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon master Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi guys and good luck with the bale string Will ...that made me chuckle that did. For clothing I just use the standard Army issue tropical combats, there made for the tropics so no chance of over heating in this country, and no chance in the Northeast thats for sure. Gets a bit chilli and the windproof light weight smock goes on, just the job. The PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
