Shooting Tom Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Went shooting over clover the other day, under a tree. this was the first time i used lofting poles. about 5 mins after putting them up i got a great pigeon decoyed in. then it took a little long to get the next one. lol Was just wondering what are the best thing to loft pigeons into tree? once i had shot the birds all when off for about and hour then when they did come back they landed in the tree in the wood about 100 yards. And didnt want to come in. Are the anyways to get them to come in(decoy) Better. Also there is a stubble field about 500 yards away where the pigeons are in numbers and when they fly around there they come about 200 yards my way the all of a sudden they fly back around and land in the trees but the stubble fields. Would a magnet help me out and catch the eye. In the end i got 6 Pigeons and 3 Crows. In the snow. Any one got any good tips for grass (clover). Thanks Edited February 24, 2009 by Shooting Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerseaDavid Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 The main idea about using lofted decoys is to draw them in from a long distance but the birds will generally go into the trees rather than decoys straight away. Shooting over clover is pritty much the same as shooting over peas. You dont need the decoys as close together as you do on rape but a magnet will help I would have thought. Does the flightline go over the trees that they landed in or not? I always set 2 or 3 lofted decoys as high as I can in the tree and use about 20 decoys just spread out infront of the hide about 25 yards out and I will also use a bouncer and an electric flapper.
