Andywallyford 0 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hi all, I have recently moved to wallingford in oxfordshire and am a keen shooter but i am used to rough shooting/walked up days and have never really done a large amount of decoying. I have acquired some farms to shoot on with what seems to me to be a LARGE number of pigeons on them. I have purchased a hide, a magnet, and a number of decoys but do not seem to be having a large amount of success. I've done the usual being researching on the internet, videos, books etc changing positions and patterns etc but just don't get any bags of 8 or more birds. Can anyone give me any pointers, or if anyone is willing to let me come out with them for a day or two it would really be appreciated. Quote Link to post

Pigeon shooting by Archie Coats loads of know how and fieldcraft without relying on techno gear like some modern writers. Quote Link to post
