henry d Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I took the plunge at the GC scottish fair last weekend and bought a pigeon magnet from Deako and the boys.I`ve kept away from them as I`ve heard variable reports about them,anyway I gave them the dosh and planned to get up early for a bash on Monday.6am and there was no traffic so I set up near where I saw 8 or so pigeon lift off.Set up the magnet as Deako said and soon had 1/2 a doz in the bag but they seemed to be coming in from behind (was in an L shaped field and set up on the inside elbow)so I took 5 for a cuppa and a quick recce and there was a great flight line 100 or so yds round the corner so I packed up and settled there.The line was 40-50 yds to me right and I could watch the birds leaving the roost 3/4 mile across the valley and when they saw the magnet they just set their wings. Anyway 70 birds by 12 when the flight dried up.Many thanks Deako.....worked a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deako Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Glad it worked for you H, and nice to meet you! Sorry I didn't get much time to chat, it always seems that the PW guys call in just as we get busy. I'll try my best to have a beer with you next time! Deako.

game_boy Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 How much did that set you back Henry ? I'd love to get one when ever i can get some pigeon shooting around me. Where abouts did you get them in Perthshire ? Cheers, gb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) Got it at the Game conservancy fair at scone from Deako and it was £69 and well worth it IMHO you should get a look at one on his site.I used my own 17ah battery and it didn`t miss a beat.(############## I think) Edited July 8, 2005 by henry d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
