Nick used a magnet and 20 full bodied decoys whilst I used a flapper and 15 HH Decoys in a horse shoe with the flapper at the front. The birds came in steadily for the rest of the day and we finished at 1900hrs with a total bag of 103 pigeons and two crows. Nick being top gun of the day with 56 pigeons and me with 47 pigeons and the 2 crows. After shooting my 100 cartridge bag empty and Nick also running out we packed up with birds still flighting in.

The day details - I set up under an oak tree at first light and within half an hour the birds started dropping in to my decoys. It went steady till about one then went dead so I took that time to sort out my pattern. I shot a few crows then the pigeons started coming in again at about three thirty it went mental. The birds were almost bombing my magnet I even had a pigeon fly right in to it. I ran out of cartridges at five and called it a day.
