out this morning before 6 , set my maggy decoy up on a pole at the side of the stables ,which is not far from a good sitter tree, had about ahours wait untill i got my first shot ,it was a maggy ,came in very quite and fully focused on the decoy ,put the crosshairs on it ,pulled the trigger and down it went ,

next in the tree for me was 3 stock doves which are off limits to us shooters ,there as been a pair nesting here every year ive been shooting here ,which is about 8, ,they do have there uses ,they decoy the woodys in , they also returning after every shot as though nothing happened ,manage 4 woody and them peace

couldn't find the maggy ,probley one of the feral cats taking advantage of a easy meal

Hey mate, quick question what colour is your pole and is it quite visable to other birds, I tried some woodie decoys the other day on bamboo but I was worried that the sandy colour of the bamboo would scare birds off more than draw them in

hi Craig, mine was a green plastic garden pole ,i only wanted the decoy to be about a ft higher than the stable roof, think a lot use bamboo with good results,

hi craig,i think your movement is more likely to scare it than the pole,try it in differant setting and watch from a good distance and see what happens
