dead-eye-dick Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 Does anyone else have this trouble? When building a hide to completely hide yourself from 'the pray' i find i don't have much vision to scan the sky, or much movement to swing the gun. :=) :what: :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 Dead-eye, Take a pair of gardening secateurs (I think that's how they're spelt), and cut away a bit of a space for yourself. Obviously within reason! Don't go cutting huge holes in farmers hedges or you'll find your permission withdrawn pretty sharpish! Make a hide with some camo netting and you'll be able to look through it and see the birds coming. Then when the time is right you can pop up and shoot.

Cranfield Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 dead eye ****, So, you have come back for more ? My Chapter 1 of "War & Peace" didn,t put you off then ? Apart from occasional straw bales, I never bother trying to make a "natural" hide. You usually end up carting hatchets, saws ,rope, JCB,s etc around with you and you have to cut down something living to make it (and dismantle it afterwards) Modern camouflage hide material is brilliant, light and does the job. Set up properly, you are hidden and can still see. If you PM me, I will see if we can arrange a meet and look over your shooting land and give you some ideas. I am away for the month of May, so before or after, your call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
