Cover yourself from head to toe in camo. Black bags,3 litres of water and freezer bag or small chest also,I find if I have high numbers I will strip them down in the field instead of at home . Less mess to deal with .

Watch the flight path they are using then try and set up your hide under a large tree around that flight line. Look out from your hide and picture a v with were your standing being the tip , now set your ground decoys in that v shape starting about 15 yards from your hide to as far you would feel confident you could hit a pigeon, to the back of each side of your v put your bouncers and in the center of them put your spinner and then 15 yards from that towards you put your flapper , remember to face your ground decoys into the wind.One or two tree decoys come in handy aswell as it will draw cagey pigeons into the tree over your head.Something lads forget is to cammo the gun ,they stand there in full camo in a hide and every time they put the gun up it is like waving a mirror to make a sos signal.A gun sock is only around a tenner.
So now in effect you have created a feeding area with a landing patch in the middle were you will be taking most of your shots.
I often leave a single pigeon that lands in to mooch around feeding this movment will draw a flock in.The whole idea is to make it as relistic as possible.

well myself lad i would not leave one real pigeon in the killing area as it can draw a big flock in thats all very well and good but i dont think any one has a gatling shot gun lol lol in my own opinion i love shooting the ones and twos that come in number will rise up bit by bit

lb1981

Can see why you like shooting the ones and twos but i normally shoot large fields of rape with a few lads in different areas so we try to get a flock in and get them moving between us, you get great craic in bursts like that when they are hitting hard
