In my area it`s noticeable that pigeons are not on the well grown rape, (as usual!) but some of my fields have areas of stunted rape that initially had pinkish leaves which are now a bit yellow. These are the places to find the birds, and if the only place to put your deeks is on a well grown crop they will often give you a miss. Would you like to crash your undercarriage into wet, frosty leaves??

Shooting pigeons over winter OSR is a bit like herding cats! :< Isolated fields may produce well, but large blocks of OSR are difficult to cover. As soon as I get a longish lull I get out and walk the ******* off the other fields, but it doesn`t always work.
Getting them to revisit you depends on the direction they fly off. A couple more guns often helps, but you stand the risk of discouraging them altogether if there is other rape nearby. Just persevere, don`t expect miracles, and they may surprise you. Low pressure, wind and cloud also helps, but if you only have one or two days a week in which to shoot, it can be like juggling soot! I wonder if silenced shotguns would help?? -
Just under 6 feet and 13 stones. I`ve got all my own hair, and teeth, and make all my own dresses, so there!!

I don`t expect you to understand but I`m proud of that fact!!

We`re looking for same -sex partnerships.

Why should we make up? :< We`re enjoying it. :thumbs:

RRUK I`ve been baiting them with bread for years. The secret is to make it with pigeon`s milk!!

Large font; biggest avatar on the site and a bodybuilder. Might I suggest low self-esteem??
-
RRUK that is never going to happen because I don`t shoot pigeons at 80 yards, or anything like it!! :thumbs: You must have quite a large bonce because you`ve got more gob than a cow`s got ****!!

catamong,
RRUK is only bluffing. He won`t shoot at me because I`ve got all the pies!!! :thumbs:
-
Don`t get your panties in a twist RRUK. I know it was your mate who likes to shoot `em at 80 yards. The mere fact that you mentioned your mate doing this stupid thing is enough for us to assume that you support him. You know it`s wrong so why don`t you say so??

I`ve heard they prefer granary or wholemeal!!

Are you sure seven feet is enough for a fat bloke like you?? :thumbs:

Check BASC Shooting and Conservation magazine. Page 33, for Sam Grice`s opinion on closing one eye!! I`ve always kept both eyes open while acquiring the target, then dimming my left eye just as I take the shot. Most of the work is done while getting on to the target, with binocular vision, and only a very short time in monocular, and it works for me. I`m talking about live bird shooting as I don`t shoot clays.

I knew about the big bag over beans, that`s why I mentioned rape. You couldn`t have shot many more over that field if you had deliberately baited it with beans. Rape is entirely another matter, and we STILL don`t know what woodywoo shot that 200 over!! He`ll probably say beans!!
-
You can`t shoot sitting down, you tart!!
I`d soon return fire and how could I miss a lard **** like you?? :thumbs: -
Catamong, you asked what Invector would say about this post. I find it difficult to believe and would appreciate some photos, or other evidence. As for the bread, ask Will about the client he took out, who bought some breakfast cereals and placed a little heap in front of each deek!!
In fact it might be a good idea to also ask Will if he, or his clients, have shot 200 birds over rape lately? -
OK I`ll say it. You should be able to do it by hand, Axel.

I have SAKs on both my .22 and .17HMR.

I hear that in a concrete bunker, near deepest darkest Bicester, there is a company that has designed a plastic man, in a camo shell suit, who appears to pour coffee from a flask. This gadget uses an adjustable timer and is guaranteed to attract pigeons even better than rotaries or flappers etc. Just place the decoy man next to you in the hide and await results. Pigeons won`t know you are waiting with thumb on the safety and red - letter days are about to become commonplace.
-
If the flask doesn`t do it then taking on all that tea/coffee/soup leads to the second best pigeon attraction the alfresco pee!!
-
I always drink from the gun and shoot `em with the flask!!
-
I defy you to find any `fluffy residue` in my barrels!! Perhaps it`s because you`re a wimp and use fluffy bog roll??
-
I have always used a wooden, three piece, cleaning rod with either a loop, or a split plastic jag, and a phosphor bronze brush, finishing off with oil applied with a wool mop.
I use the split jag, with three sheets straight off the toilet roll, and folded to fit the jag, to clean the residue first. Followed by some bore cleaner and a good rogering with the wire brush. I pay particular attention to the breech and choke areas, where leading can build up. I don`t use plazzy wads, so build up of plastic fouling is not a problem.
After running fresh toilet paper through the bore, until it comes out clean, I use the wool mop to deposit gun oil in the bore, wipe the action and barrels with an oily rag and put the gun away. If, as you say, you want the gun to be really clean a rod will, in my opinion, do a better job than a boresnake. Every week or so I dismantle the gun and clean and oil everything thoroughly, especially so after damp days. If you like to see your action and barrels a bit `wet` with oil, store the gun with barrels down, to obviate oil seeping into the woodwork.

catamong,
With gas guns in nearby fields I sometimes find that my shots scare the heck out of `em and they just go to another field. I then have to walk them off the other field because a gunshot won`t do it!! Why, if silenced/moderated shotguns is not a good idea, do we pray for the wind to carry the sound of our shots away from our decoys? I have the say where the gas guns go, and I try to push birds on to a smaller block of OSR, that I can manage. The sound of my shots have the same effect as a gas gun and, however inviting my pattern may be there`s always another, quieter, field.
