same question as milligan you don;t mention setting any decoys out . you can shoot birds flighting over a field or to a wood or tree line with just a hide. but as cranfield said if the birds dont want to be there. nothing you do will bring em to yer

YES GOOD GOING AGAIN

once went to scotland wi me old fella goose and pheashant shooting about 20 years ago got an invite to go back and do the crows and pigeons on spring drillings we went back and struggled to make a decent bag for 2 days as weather was but 3rd day we found a field full of pigeons on closer inspection it was full of stones very rocky ground we shot 94 lost a few but just to hit on what yer said and me old fella has always said they dont like to get the pegs balled up wi mud. :blink:

NPPC WELL WORTH THE MONEY CONCIDERING £200. FOR A DAY AT DRIVEN PHEASANT. £140 FOR A GUIDED PIGEON DAY. BEEN A MEMBER ME SELF FOR 3 YEARS AND I LIVE IN ST HELENS ABOUT 20 MILES FROM MANCHESTER AND 15 FROM LIVERPOOL AND CAN SAY I HAVE SHOT PIGEONS IN YORKSHIRE AND STAFFORDSHIRE. BOTH COUNTIES ON LIST HAVE AREAS BETWEEN 75 AND 100 MILES FROM ME.DEPENDING HOW FAR YOU ARE WILLING TO TRAVEL YOU CAN HAVE SOME GOOD DAYS I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD TWO 50 BAGS.ONE 40. COUNTLESS 20 AND 30 BAGS ON WINTER RAPE. BUT NOT EVERY TRIP IS LIKE THAT. BEEN OUT AND SHOT 2 OR 3 OR 7 OR 8 YOU GET THE PICTURE. BEST SUMMER BAGS WAS 88 ON CUT RAPE AND 76 ON CHICKWEED NEAR BIRMINGHAM. WITH OTHER SMALLER BAGS IN THE 20/30/40 BRACKET. SO I HOPE THIS GIVES FOOD FOR THOUGHT TO ANYONE CONCIDERING JOINING AND I MAY ADD THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION OF BEING A MEMBER

NO MATE IT WASN;T IF ANYONE APPROACHS ME WHILE OUT SHOOTING 1ST THING I DO IS BREAK AND UNLOAD GUN THEN SAY ALRIGHT MATE. NOT F; OFF.
