shottyscotty 3 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 not too sur if this is normal, i set up my decoys on a wet sowed field near the munlochy bay and was sitting around for ages and then a suddenly noticed a heron right in the middle of my pattern. i tried to get a pic but it flew off. then a bit later some shell ducks came in and started to land so i waved them away.

Hunting-top-shots 2 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 one good thing is that your decoy pattern must have been good and the second is if some birds see others feeding then why not join in had it happen to me over here with geese and pidgeon decoys. keep at it HTS Quote Link to post

whippeter69 88 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Aaron, you HAVE NOT seen a heron try and eat a mink. A mink would easily kill the Heron. You HAVE NOT seen a heron try and eat a rat, trust me, you havent. So stop spreading shit about because ypu always get found out in the end ! Quote Link to post
