jimdfish Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 CM Have you read any of the posts that were posted For your attention on the tips and tricks. If you had you would see there is no reason to pay thirty quid for a hide and extendable clothes props with the ends knocked into a point will suffice and are only two quid.

c.mosley Posted August 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 i think the camo net is a must though...................... having said that...............how good is the eye sight of a pigeon? how far do you need to go? i bet there is nothing worse than spendind a long day just getting bit by gnats.....................and not even seeing a pigeon?

Yorkshire Pudding Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 If you want action that's nailed on ... Fork out for a days driven shooting . If you want to spend you time thinking .... What have i done wrong .... This worked last time .... This field was covered yesterday . Blah blah blah . Welcome to the world of the best sporting shot in the land . The PIGEON ( in my beer and cigar stained eyes ) For the cheap way to do it , get yourself some deeks , set em out on a flightline , shove yourself well in the hedge back ,pull the cleavers and a few branch's over ye sen . An then start to learn .... You'll soon find out ... WHAT WORKS FOR YOU ! all the best yis yp :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurcherboy Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 I made 4 poles, 600 yards of camo and a pump-action shotgun out of some sticky back plastic, Fairy liquid bottle and a cornflakes box. No, seriously. LB PS. still working on the decoys. Waiting for my mum to use up her sewing cotton so I can have the reels. Will keep you all posted :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon master Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 CM, Like the yorkshire pudding said....."great name YP" to start all you need is some decoys and a gun, if you want more as you go along I would scan ebay for bargins coz you will find most things you need on there. For equipment that you really want then contact deako, CM what gun do you have? Good luck on the bargin hunt. The PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTMS Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Started with just a gun and some old army camo gear, sat in hedge row over a flight line and got the bug. "Cheap as chips" :yp: Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 how good is the eye sight of a pigeon? Its Brilliant. Just move about a little when you see one homing in on the deeks from 400 yards away and see what happens.! I have always found that it is movement which turns the birds away not what you might be wearing or hidden behind.. :yp: FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
