decoys and pigeon magnets


Recommended Posts


hi all just wonderin in your experiance are flock coated decoys better than plastic ?

Plastics tend to shine a lot if they get wet........so flock are better. But best of all (and i have always done it) is to use the real thing.......! I always keep 8-12 of the best pigeons from a previous shoot to use as deeks. Better than anything i find, and i always snip off one of the legs of each of the frozen birds so i know which are the fresh ones after a shoot ;)

cradles are good on growing short crop, but personaly i carry enough kit without adding more weight , i always use kebab sticks as neck props , cheap and different lengths avalable and if left behind safe for farm machinery to pass over, if over longish crop a floater and birds laid as normal wherever possible in longer crop.
