j j m 6,563 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 if your only out a couple of hours in this cold weather i just use a zip freezer bag and take them back home if i dont get anything but the last four trips they have worked well with the maggies fighting for the eyes of the rabbits thats when i take my shot,then theres loads of them sitting in the trees screeming at there falling friend i usually get another 2 before they cotton on,then i move to another part of the golf course,last week i put one in the car park and sat in the jeep at 630 in the morning no one else around within 5 minutes a crow appeared shot it then mr maggie got it 2 Quote Link to post

Craig Fosse 286 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm gonna give this a try Quote Link to post
j j m 6,563 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 ive built my own two hides on the wooded parts of the course which i shoot from ,ones been there two years the other one 2 month i use old branches and fern,with a cammo back so they cant see any movement from mack or above it looks like a big magpies nest woven in to the surrounding trees with a small hole for barrell when i come out i just move cammo over at the back Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,562 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Yeah i do the same and the crows,magpies,squirrels,pigeon etc,etc get so used to it being there that if you use several hides and use each one sparingly they just dont know your there.(very effective) atb Quote Link to post
eat4peace 21 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Whenever I shoot a mixi rabbit, if the meat doesn't go to my dogs the gutted carcass goes in the freezer to splay out for magpie baiting. Quote Link to post
