fox assasin 16 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hi all, I am actually out pigeon decoying now as I Speak ! There is plenty of pigeons around, but what's bugging me is that the pigeons are showing interest in the decoys but when they get to about 20 yards away from the pattern they are just smoothly drifting off to the left or to the right handside, there not decoying but showing interest, I've changed the pattern countless times and there ways facing into the wind ? Any help or tips would be much appreciated Cheers Quote Link to post
RossR 14 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 is there enough room for the pigeons to land? have it in a U shape or two straight lines with a runway down the middle, are they seeing you in the hide? dont have all decoys facing into the wind, create a pattern that looks like its moving, keep us updated Quote Link to post

mattybugeye 884 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I was having this problem last week I ended up just doing a total random circle shape all facing different directions and that brought a few in worth a try maybe???? I normally do a v shape and a crow and magpie at each end works 9 times out of 10 Quote Link to post
