  1. I went to Oxford last Tuesday - Uncle Wills– cheap day return.

    On the last occasion I visited someone shafted me for at least 200 quid for pigeon tackle. This visit was no different! I am now the complete pigeon shooter – you name it I’ve got it!

    Anyway, I digress. We drove around the Oxfordshire countryside for a while, weather was dry, overcast, breezy- perfect really – I was confident, when we finally we pulled up on the side of the road. There were 2 other sets of DIYers, I was on me jack. Follow me says Will.

    A couple of hundred yards down the road and we turned into a field of OSR and the biggest flock of blueies I have ever seen got up, there were thousands. Oh dear me I thought. This isn’t on the video – small groups I want on flight lines.

    Cut a long storey short I heaved all this newly acquired tack and the stuff I bought last year to what I thought was the place.

    Oxfordshire mud is very,very sticky. I was knackered.

    By the time I had set up, all the Pigeons had f**cked off.

    Farmer Giles had a 6” howitzer in the adjacent fields, sun came out shining in my face.

    Anyway, I reduced that large flock of blueies by 5, two of which (the only 2) decoyed perfectly the other three as they were going to roost.

    Regardless it was great to be out in the fresh air – cheers Will.

     

    FOR SALE: Pigeon Decoying Equipment - very little used.

  2. Thought for the day……..

    Life at work is like a tree full of monkeys,

    all on different limbs at different levels.

    Some monkeys are climbing up, some down.

    The monkeys on top look down and see a tree full of smiling faces.

    The monkeys on the bottom look up and see nothing but *********.

    :thumbs:

    Tomorrow I'm out on a cheap day with Will B ... wish me luck!
