decoying

[gazguildford 0]

this is using an aa s410

 

i am particually fond of roost shooting but am just wondering if roost decoys work any good? also if i was to put say 3 roost decoys high in the trees and a pattern of say 10-12 decoys on open ground would this work well do you think? any tips are welcome some times although good to be outside coming away with 2 pigeons is heart breaking when all you see is pigeons in flight all day.

 

time to invest in decoys??

 

any help welcome

cheers guys

yes it would, there called lofters, usualy put them in a beech or oak (bare and big) which is amongst a fir wood, pigeons will land in this type of tree before dropping into the warmer trees to roost.... but yes buy a lofting pole and decoys and get going

works ok just loft the full body decoys up into the tree and wait, if you don't want to buy a lofting pole then throw a stone attached to fishing line as high in the tree as possibel and then make loops using figure 8 knots in about 2 foot spaces then tye the 2 ends together and just attach the decoys to the fishing line and lift them up.

 

I leave the line in the trees all year round just tie it to a nail in the trunk otherwise it will blow up into the tree, it is faster than lofter poles after you have set it up.
