roadkill Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Going to be getting a tx off the farmer this week to say when he has harvested the wheat, I would like to try an afternoon session going into the evening. Only ever done early morning pigeon shooting , so for all you afternoon people is there a good time to be set up by? Cheers roadkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Watch the field. See when the birds are there and time your visit accordingly. I think 1pm is plenty early enough, though the pigeons may decide to feed later. This is, of course, presuming that any pigeons use the field at all. It is not inconceivable that pigeons ignore the place you want to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadkill Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Will pop over this week to sus the new field out, I was shooting the one next to it this Sunday and a few was flying over the bottom end of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigpigeonshooter Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I set up at 6pm and still manage double figures in a few hours. Always slow going in the evenings I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadkill Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 got my tx to say that the field was ready to shoot, so we went down today about 3ish to set up for the afternoon only to find the downside to afternoon shooting , there were already two guns in the field so that was the end of that plan. My buddy went over to ask if it was ok that we shot in the field behind them as I didn't want to come along and set up and ruin there sport. They were happy so we had to make do with some old barley stubble . We had a few shoots but the birds weren't interested in this field as the one next door was on fire. I spent the few hours we had watching there shooting and they had some cracking shots and must be getting on for a very large bag Ready for the next outing but think we will stick to the early morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadkill Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 lesson learnt , I cant moan as I normally don't shoot this farm as I do a few others that are now off limits due to the game birds, that's why I asked them if they mind as I wouldn't want to impose. But next week will be an early start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
