Well after this mornings adventure i went day to my ed for a couple of hours but got woken up by a call from afarmer i have just started getting shooting off he told me there were thousands of pigeons on his fresh drilling and could i come and sort it out i told him i would be there in 20 minutes and sure enough there were thousands .i set up at the top of one of the fields with a big wood at my back and the wind coming over the wood giving me great shelter i had only just got the decoys out 12 in total no magnet at first .the birds just kept on coming and the shooting was fast at about 1pm i was running out of cartridges as i only had 75 left and hadnt intended going out today i nipped down to the farm and the farmer was only to happy to lend me some more shells.i was banging away when i seen an old woman with a collie dog walking up the grass park towards where i was shooting i thought oh here we go she is going to complain but she had come up to see if i would like a coffe brought up as i was working hard lol we chatted for a while and she explained that her late husband was a keen pigeo shooter i offered her some birds and she was over the moon i plucked 10 for her and said i would drop them off on the way down from the field (good deed dun for the day )at five pm the flight had all bit stopped so i packed up and spent the next hour picking up with the dogs i picked 135 plus the ten for my new pal so a total of 145 for the day NICE ! This is the second 100+ off this farm i two weeks i feel a sicky coming on for next week if the wind is still as strong Thanks for looking

Well where do i start yesterday was a cracking day here os after dinner i went for a stalk to one of my perms i arrived at 7pm with the sun still strong in the sky and just a light westerly breeze i had a look round a few fields but no joy only doe,s out feeding so i decided to go to a spot where i do t usualy see many roe but do see the odd fox i settled down and thought i will give it an hour or so i had been sitting for only a few seconds when i spotted movment about 250 yards down the edge of the wood it was a buck heading back in i was unsure if he had been sitting out sunning him self or he had just come out and winded me any way he looked big VERY BIG i sat for over an hour but he never showed up again cursingand blinding i headed back to the car and decided to come back at first light. 4.30 am and i was out the door like a shot with the wind blowing hard for the west again i new i would have to come in from the other side of the wood .when i arrived it was still dark so i got set up and waited dawn came i and no movement the two doe,s came trotting out the wood about 200 yards or so froms me they had no idea i was there happy days at 5.45 the big lad came into view just inside the wood but all i could see was his back end as he walked up the edge of the wood going away from me i knew there was a hole in the wall about 100 yards from where i was set up and figured this was where he was heading and sure enough he popped ot through the hole a couple of seconds later and trotted out into the field .as soon as he cleard the wood i could see he was massive he made 40 yards into the field and started to feed i put the cross hair on him and said a wee prayer long the lines of please god dont let me **** this up i set the cross hair on his chest and squeezed the trigger that lovely sound of a solid thump and he was down clean as a whistle .on inspection he was massive with a huge rack measuring just under 12 long YEH THAT BIG i am no expert but and prity sure he will be a gold medal the first for me he weighed 51 lb cleaned on the hook Now off to bed to catch up on some sleep Thanks for looking

All the best buddy
