turbo33 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Popped up to the farm for around 10am this morning. The only field of stubble left un molested by the mintill muncher was strangely quiet. I sat in the truck for 40 minutes watching for a sign of anything resembling a flightline, but almost nothing. Still, I had made the effort to go up there, so thought I would have a go. With no evidence of a good place to be, I set up on the edge of a wood, just under an Ash tree. The birds often use this tree, if there are any about, and the bonus is its under a crow flightpath. It was a struggle to get the few birds to play ball. Some decoyed an absolute treat, others just weren't interested. I started with fb deeks and added the shot birds to the pattern. I kept changing things around to see what would work. I pulled all the decoys in at one point, and just left the real birds out there......strangely, that was less effective so back to the mix of everything I had in the bag, FB's, Shells... It was a slow but enjoyable day. Finished with 19 pigeons and 3 crows, all with the 20g and homeloaded carts View from inside the hide and JP clearview net. Looking back at the hide The Bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
