MerseaDavid Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Some days it works and some it doesnt. Yesterday we only had the Magnet out by itself and the pigeons came in nicely but a few would not come near it still, but once the dead bodies had built up even these came in. I find it works better on windy days when the pigeons are flying (playing) more were on a still day the pigeons just dont seem to like it. If you get the Sporting gun magazine there is some good articles to do with the pigeon magnet (where to put it etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerseaDavid Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 God you start early mate, I dont like to get to the field until after 9am because it gives them a chance to feed and I have found they tend to wont to come back. If you shoot them early and push them off the field they will just go and find another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanker Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Am finding best results from simple pattern of half-shell decoys. Bouncer sems to make them hesitate or not even come in. Bouncer seems better on wheat/barley that's been blown over prior to harvest. Timing at the moment better 11am onward until 3-4pm. All subject to change though - that's part of the joy of it all!

Hope it works for you mate I have tried shooting early many times but only had a couple of hours good shooting then it went dead for the rest of the day so now we dont start until 9:30 ish. Our shooting is still going good at the moment, we shot 109 on saturday over cultivated peas up against a flight pond B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
