Cranfield Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Have a look round the field, sometimes a hedge or tree line will shelter a spot and the snow will be thinner there. Also, take some sacks, or something similar and try to "sweep" the snow off an area. It doesn't have to be completely clear, just clearer than other parts of the field. Movement in the decoy pattern is always important, but more so in snow. Pigeons have to feed whatever the weather, so see where they are, thats where you need to be.

[ His words!] , anyway , he was more than happy , worth a try! .POW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooting Tom Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 You could shoot it lol, but you would need to clear some snow so you can put the decoys down, if i was you i would look to see if there are any pigeons around that area in tree or just flying over. It will not be worth going if there are no birds in the sky or close by to see the decoys in the first place lol. i would give it a go if there where a few pigeons around. If you do choose to go then please let us know and tell us your bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
