  11. Very strong wind

    Posted

    Was looking at a rape field that has been heavily  shot in the last couple of weeks ,a few birds in the trees and a trickle of birds coming in watched for over half hour and decided to set up .put the hide under a oak Tree that birds were pulling to when I was watching  , set out  a dozen she'll deeks o  spring  sticks and had birds looking but not committing  shot a couple of long birds and set them up on  sticks above the rape it made a deference some birds decoyed some flew past with the wind in their tales wow when you hit one it was over a 100 yds before it hit the ground  had snow showers and then sun would come out , ended up with 25 birds not a big bag but but what sport in the wind very enjoyable.

    Went to feed a duck pond after  the freeze  and put out some fox bait ,was looking for some pigeons  on stubble that they have been o  for a couple of months now, walked a  couple of hundred off parked up and after half hour none had come back but noticed  a flight line of crows to another stubble  so set up at the only oak Tree in the field , had jackdaws rooks and carrion coming over but reluctant to come to decoys  as with  no wind but a very cold day I was taking birds at good range and shot some very good birds  as I added the dead I got more response and some did decoy if I had set up earlier  I would have had  a lot more  but it was 1 30  before I started and shot til, 3 15  when it went quiet picked 35 mixed corvids  and one pigeon  it was very enjoyable  though to out wit the crows.

    Was busy early on so was after 1 30 before could get out , looked at some local perms and by the time I had found some birds and got set up it was 3 35 and after pushing a lot of birds off the field so late did not expect a lot to come back, but a few started to trickle over and one or 2 came close enough to shoot it was allover by 4 30as you could see birds going in to the roost woods I picked 16 bits I less than a hour and had some really good birds so even though it was a good walk with all the gear I really enjoyed it .

  25. Crows in the wind

    Took dogs for a walk to see if we could get a pheasant Or 2 they flushed a cock that flew straight towards a farmhouse so had to let it go, a bit further on they flushed a second bird that I shot so a good start , no other birds flushed so decided to have a look further down the track as it's a mile from top to bottom of the lane. Looking over the stubble and could see a good lot of crows using it the came from a old rubbish dump that had been grassed over.set up on the railway bank on the upwind side , as soon as hide up and decoys out the crows begin to decoy the good wind helped to keep them moving the shooting was good and for once on crows I shot well having 5 doubles I ended up with 40 crows and 7 woodies and one good thing was every crow was carrion crow , no jackdaws or rooks so hope to have done some song birds a favour next spring.
