Day with Highbird70

Hi all, I was lucky member who got to go out with Mark yesterday on a lovely perm he has in Warwickshire.

A bit of an overcast and windy day, not great for decoying. But there was a steady stream of crows in the morning, followed by pigeon in the afternoon.

We stuck with the decoys until mid afternoon, then tried our luck flightlining from a wood which added a few more to the bag.

Ended the day with about 25 crows/jackdaws and pigeons. Mark shot the lions share but I made a small contribution to the bag and shot my first crow.

Big thank you to Mark for the day, and for trying to sort my appalling shot to kill ratio.

Also, to Mark's young son who is the most awesome retriever I have seen, better than any gun dog.

Hi, got the feeling from a couple of replies that my comment "not great for decoying" meant we didn't have a good day. Bearing in mind, I am pretty inexperienced at pigeon shooting, I thought good decoying was when they floated in to the pattern one by one all day long. I now understand that getting them to come in and have a look is a result, which is what happened pretty much throughout. I saw and shot at more pigeon and crow than I have ever seen before, and the 200-300 pigeon that came down into the field as we were packing up was a revalation to me.

Hope that clears things up, and thanks again Mark for your company and a great day.
