We went out Friday morning looking for cut rape after about an hour of driving we found two small fields that had been cut with loads of birds on them. We know on this farm they have just had the poults delivered and they are close to the two fields. The wind was very strong and blowing from the pens so we hoped that they would let us shoot. On contacting the farmer all was ok as long as we did not shoot towards the pens. We drove the field and decided the safest way to shoot was from a tree in the centre of the field. We set up and started to shoot there was a house in the left of us on the edge of the field but a safe distance away. We let the first bird come into the pattern to see the reaction and it came straight in and landed DB shouted at it and shot it as it flew away. During the day we had to move the magnet five times to try and make them come into the pattern this was due to the wind changing slightly during the day. After four hours the keeper drove across to us to ask us to stop shooting as they had received complaints about the noise!!! So we packed up .We picked up two hundred and fifty two pigeons at the end. This would have been a megga day if we had not been stopped. Saturday saw us driving around looking for cut rape again we travelled for about fifty miles and found lots of fields part cut but no birds.We found a field and contacted the farmer and he gave us the OK. We ended up at 12.30 setting up on a cut field with a lot of birds on it but it had been cut high and the birds were dropping on the old tyre tracks and walking through the stalks to feed. This made it very difficult to decoy them as they saw the decoys but would not try and land just vere off. At 13.30 we had a call asking us to come and shoot the crows that were on the barley stubble on another farm so we packed up and drove down to the field. There were a few jackdaws on it but more pigeon so we set up and shot till 18.00. We picked up one hundred and sixteen pigeon and fiftyfour blackies.

Good result, in this game the pigeon have not read the same book as us , so you have adapt to get your sport. Well done for finding the flightlne and shooting the pit.

I've had good bags in much spread stubble in the past. It helps if you have a bit of rain on to cool it down , it has been stated previously the woodies love muck heaps and you can always find them there.

We carry 150 each and usually stop when we run out .

Well done, result. You kept going and got your just rewards .

Well done, the first of many days.Remember the things that work and don't forget to move or change things during the day if you see birds passing and taking no notice of your decoys.

Well done, result.

Lead is in your mind as a natural hunter, when you throw a snowball as a kid you automatically add lead as they run away. The main thing is Practice.

I had a friend who was a Special Constable who was called out to barn coversion when the owner complained that the tractors were starting up at 07.30. Another farmer had a complaint from a towny about the rape shooting . It just so happens that his muck heap appeared at the bottom of his garden in the field !!!!

Well done, the first of many , result.

Nice, I hope I can still get out when I'm seventy.well done.

Tut,Tut, Just Cut and Paste like I do?????

Well done , good job.

We had a call on Friday to go back to the farm that we have shot for the last three weeks, thinking that they had moved on to the wheat we were amazed to find they were on the barley still. The farmer asked us to shoot the barley as it was being cut later in the day so we set up on the grass again at 12.00 it was a bit slow at the start as they had seen the decoys before and they realy wanted the barley but when the combine came it gave us some fantastic shooting. We packed up at 18.00 and picked up one hundred and sixty nine pigeons and twenty three crows. We told the farmer the count for the day and he asked us to look at his brothers wheat on the way home, it was loaded. So on Saturday we set out to shoot the wheat via looking at a number of farms on the way which had birds sitting on the wires but no major holes to shoot in. We set up on the wheat at 12.00 and shot till 18.00 it was very hot and the dog kept looking out of the hide and we knew when the birds were coming by the waging tail. We picked up one hundred and eighty five pigeons.

You can move the pattern out further so they commit to the decoys earlier and so brake in the wind before the vortex. You can also move the magnet to make them change the flight into the pattern.
