pigeonblasterian Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I have been watching the maize cover crops on this farm for a few weeks.I missed the first week or so last year but still had some fairly decent days shooting with guests before it was ploughed in. I was told today at the farm that it is to be cut this week but i will have to keep going for a look as they are not sure of which day. I did not see many pigeons about but a few crows were among some of the maize strips. Still plenty of maize left on the plants so it should attract the pigeons once cut. Anyone who asked for a day out should be ready for a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeonblasterian Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Can be frustrating shooting these strips as the pigeons just tend to move on to the strips where no one is set up. Largest strip is 50 x 300 yards and two others of 30 x 250 yards each one a field apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Looks good PB, hope the pigeons find it and you have a good do! You could try some flags on the other strips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeonblasterian Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 This is what it looks like today.Has just been cut and has plenty of crows on it. The pigeons have not really started on it yet but i think they will have found it by tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, from this comment you are implying that anyone who shoots big bags of pigeons only does so because they are shooting semi-tame pigeons and not as challenging as the pigeons you shoot. Correct?

I know exactly what you mean. I have a number of permissions that border towns and the amount of times i've come up with the semi tame theory, they come direct from housing estates in 1s 2s straight into the decoys low across the field. However have other permissions very very remote and see 5x the numbers but they flock up this time of year and with the 10s of 0000's of acres of food out there they just move on. When the beans or peas go in however they cannot resist, or the milky laid barley, first field of cut rape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
