phill.p Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Can any of you experienced guys shed any light on the possibility of decoying birds from there return roosting flight line to a grass field. Will they or wont they. Or try it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ91 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 if they have not already been feeding on there i dont think they will come onto it to feed but try it mate i have noticed that they are feeding on clover a lot at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country Boy Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Just try it, you've nowt to loose, you might do very well because 75% of the time there is no logic to decoying woodpigeons! Cheers, C.B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phill.p Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Was gonna give ot a go. As the only pigeon shooting I have is on that principal. Was just hoping they might come in for a closer look or do a second take at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Pigeons are allways looking for a feed .If you are on a flight line and pigeons are crossing the chances are high that you will be able to decoy some of them ,even if its a field that they havent fed on before .This can be a real joy ,decoying a flight line . give it a try . best of luck .

THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 With Deeks on the ground anything flying past will think what's down there. That's how deeks work, make them believe they should be there aswell. They need to be flying past in the first place though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
