First time decoying tomorrow

[lee-kinsman 34]

I know alot of the peoplem on here have said wrong time for decoying, but I went out for literally two hours yesterday and shot 13 birds that were landing in my decoys, I sat under a hawthorn bush that borders a bean field. This field is about 14 acres, there were alot of pigeons landing in the middle of the field too.

 

My advice, keep camo'd up and well hidden, don't forget your gun and ammo, go out early and spend an hour or so watching the flights, take some decoys and have a great time.

I know its a bit late but ,,,,, You wont decoy in big numbers but will pull a few ,, best way is to find a flightline best if its going to stubble. if theres a large tree on the line thats where to net up,,, now set out your stall as normal ( here a rotory will help, set it bewteen you and the decoys but about 20yards to one side) the plan being to catch them going to feed or returning to rest, you may even pull a few into your tree so a lofter would help,,,,,,,,, A better plan is use your eyes look for the roost they are useing and sit there and wait, catch them as they come home
