If there was a standing crop being attacked in adjacent fields I cannot see why you couldn't set up in stubble field and decoy them in from the attack on the standing crop. You would be shooting pigeons attacking a crop, doing damage, plus you will do a lot less damage to the crop, collecting dead pigeons in a stubble field rather than searching a standing crop.

The law says that you can shoot pigeons causing damage and that's exactly what you would be doing.

This is also the view of the N.A.R.G.C.

hi guys

there was a post on here not so long ago -cant find it just now about someone who had is gun removed by ranger + Garda for decoying in the next field from a crop that was being damaged. I am not saying this is correct just say cover yourself call the ranger up front.
