jigga Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 is it possible to decoy pigeons on plain old grass ? was thinking of setting of some deeks just off a flightline, i have seen pigeons feeding in the field before, on the clover perhaps ? any tips /thoughts/experiances appreciated.

biakalblaster Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I went out shooting on grass field last night, it was cut for hay around 3 weeks ago, and has had manure spread on it this week (underside of landcruiser now smelly.....) some new clover was coming through. this is a shoot i normal go walkabout shooting or stand under flightline, and have never shot more than 11 pigeons in one session up here we dont get the huge numbers of pigeons, so decoying doesnt normally work, and certainly dont get big bags. last night was nice and windy, strong NW wind, which is ideal for this shoot, in an hour and half shooting I downed 8 birds, for 21 shells. Should ahve been more kills, but it was my first decoying of the season and excitment messed up a few shots... i just had 3 decoys with me, but added real birds, i was sitting under pine trees, across fence from deeks, so only had limited window to shoot in, but i didnt have my hide, so put branches on the fence in front of me, worked very welll the pigeons often stop offor a quick graze of clover or grass seed on way to roost a good evening for me in whats a challenging pigeon shooting area, wish we could get the hundreds of birds up here....

saunders.shoots Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 i sometimes decoy on grass but rarely get over 15. my best is 23 on grass with some patches of clover, but that was with a field of drillings next to us so there were lots of pigeons about. its always worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest topshot_2k Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 i have had good days on gras/clover. had 23 a few weeks ago, my biggest bag is 84 on clover a couple of years ago. We have 3 fields full of clover and as the rape and wheat isnt ready yet the pigeons are hammering it. We are shooting it tomorrow so i will report back :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M ROBSON Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Had a good day today on a grass field full of clover. Phillip from Northern Ireland, a regular shooter with me, shot 121 woodies, his first ever 100+ day. Set up at 08:30 and packed up at 16:00, shooting less than a mile from my dad's house in Fife. Running total for the last 5 days is 446 woodies. Cheers, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
