Decoying out the back of your truck

[Weave]

Dunno if anyone else does this, but off stubble i have had some very good success doing the following.

 

Open up the back doors on my Isuzu Trooper/Big Horn put some scrim across the top of the open doors, shove a couple of hazels in the ground in front and scrim off the back of the car.

 

Then use the boot floor as a seat and happily shoot over deeks all day like that.

 

They dont seem to be put off by the vehicle, i usually park it in the corner of a field with a decent hedge row, so have some cover from behind, but i have parked in the middle of a field and as described had good success.

 

I either shove a few deeks out or go for a full on pattern with the magnet, depending on what mood i am in.

 

makes for an easy set-up and when you finish, you just throw everything in the back and naff off!

pigeons dont normally bother about farm implements , tractors , combines ,ect and will carry on feeding when they are working in a field . I have on several occations when the weather has been bad ,set up in the middle of a stubble field and built my hide around the disco using it as a windbreak and the pigeons have not paid a blind bit of attention to it .

talking two a chap and he said get the van as far away from where you set up, as the pigeons will not come in,but i find that they will come two decoys when the van is parked 20 yards away.

Val Doonigan? I'm surprised that you survived it, both barrels of "Dik a dum dum" has been known to send grown men to their sheds in tears, in a state of shock.
