Cosd Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 It all depends on the time of year. You watch the birds feed and see if they are feeding in big numbers, close together, far apart etc, etc; Then you set out accordingly. In the winter when they are feeding in flocks You would use as many as you can, 20 wouldn't be too many, but on laid crops for example I would use less, maybe half a dozen. But what you have to remember is different things work on different days, so don't be scared to change it throughout the day if you need to. I'n sure other people will have a different opinion.

henry d Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 20-30 for most scenarios except as cosd says above with laid cereals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groach1234 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 start out with 10-12 normally then keep adding the dead ones to the patter until up to about 30-40 dead birds plus the decoys. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Seems like I should have added a 20-30 option? I was just going by the pigeon shooter book who says 10 or so and a bit of fieldcraft will get you as many pigeons as you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
