MerseaDavid Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Me and dad went out today to the farm I shot yesterday and there were quite a few birds about on the field but the wind was making it hard to decoy them and we shot the field until 12pm when the farmer called us to say that there was large groups of pigeons going on to his rape, so we packed up after shooting 53 pigeons and we went to the farm to find no pigeons anywhere It was too late for us to go back to the other farm so we kept looking around our main farm and found a small flightline going over one of our harvested Barley fields that had been undersown with grass. We sat on the main farm track with the truck as our hide and kept shooting the birds until the flightline dried up and we finnished with 54 pigeons. So total for the day was 107 + 2 rabits First are the pics from the drilled wheat field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Nana's dog lives on them + a couple of friends dogs eat them. It saves them money and my nana makes some great cakes for us to take shooting lol so all is good If we have a really big day 150+ we will take them to the game dealer (that is if they are taking them).

MerseaDavid Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Nice one David , as always , as the post above , how many cartridges do you go through how do you do it Depnds on the weather and how good we are shooting lol On a good day like yesterday I shot 43 pigeons, 1 crow and one dove for 52 catridges. But on a very windy day during the winter where we are taking every shot we can at all sorts of ranges we generally work on 2 cartridges per bird so a 50% average. But we have had our bad days just like everyone else Edited October 3, 2009 by MerseaDavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good because you can see through it and the birds cant see you I would highly recommend it to anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
