winchester energy Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Watch the flight paths ....then find a part baron edge in the field where they fly over regular. Its best too group them within a 3 metre circle so they can be seen easy as with overgrown grass and all this time of year......In the winter with no crops you can spread them out more. I had 7 last night in less than an hour and all I did was hide in hedges and keep low...Shotgun took 5 of them out of the sky in mid flight. Dont go looking for them in Rape or similar......without a dog you will probably not find them and of course just damage crops. Best of luck .

Cranfield Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Watch the fields and you will see where the birds fly into (and out of) the fields, try to get your hide in that area. I try not to set too many decoys out in higher crops and often just use a couple of floaters. Be careful not to cause damage to the crops by either setting up, or retrieving shot birds. Use the tractor tracks as much as possible, or keep to the very edges. If the Farmer has left a wide headland, set your decoys out on that.

rigwallet Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 all pigeons will be feeding on edge of crops and preferbly where there is a good gap between crop and field edge so they can watch far danger as they feed. on the farms i shoot on you can see this everywhere big gaps well eaten hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
