Camouflage

[Michael5 2]

Hey

Ive been doing some crow and Magpie decoying but before they land in my set up they always seem to spot me and take off , I was wondering what is the best hide/ camouflage Method that would keep me hidden ?

Thanks michael

I find a hide made out of natural materials is the most effective for me, you can use camouflage nets to thick out your hide. Also make sure that behind you you have a thick backdrop so you do not cast a shadow. Hope this helps.

Make sure your hands and face are well covered.

and make any movements really slow- as imperceptible as possible.

Army surplus - go for natural materials rather than man made. I am a firm believer in UV signature being visible to many birds - think Jay wings, mallard and teal flashes, starling spots, MAGPIE PLUMAGE - THE IRIDESCENCE IS ALL UV SIGNATURE STUFF (yes I meant to use capitals, to emphasise the fact). Persil whiteners, will reflect UV and make you stand out like a neon light. Only wash your cotton hunting gear in plain water - rain is good!

 

Stay in the shadows, back from whatever you are using to hide behind- if a window 9a hole in your hide) don't be up close to it, stay well back and shoot through the hole, don't protrude through it. Look THROUGh a hide, not over the top or round the sides. A barn door - stay 10 feet back inside the and use the door/window as an aperture.You will stand out like a beacon if you look out of the window.

 

Wide brimmed hat and face veil of some osrt (scrim scarf is excellent and £3!)

THIN cotton gloves to cover up the white flags that are your hands. This enough to feel the trigger through.

 

NOISE - move all the twigs, leaves etc from the bottom of your hide. That way you cannot make a noise with your feet if you try.

Stay still till the last possible moment then take the shot and look threw the hide not over the top of it .
