pigeon controller Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Picked up DB 08.30 and we headed out to the bean field we shot last week to see if we could pick up a flight line. when we arrived about 100 birds left the field but it was a bit misty and we had difficulty seeing flying birds. We decided to set up and give it an hour. Last week we had problems shooting into the sun so we set up with our backs to the sun and the wind coming from the left. When the mist cleared we could see that we had birds coming to our decoys but more were flying along the lower edge of the field. At this point a tractor came across the field and it was the Farmer saying that he had hundreds on his fodder rape up the valley. So I drove up the valley and walked the field, yes it had approx 200 birds on it but one shot and they went. I stayed twenty minutes and none returned. On returning to the bean field DB had moved down to the lower edge of the field across the field from the decoys and hide. The field was only 100 yards wide so we had it covered, some of DBs shots were closer to me than his decoys at the end of the day you will see from the photo the dog was wacked and we picked up 277 birds and also had some memorable shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon controller Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Is that pheasant lurking amongst the pigeons too? Nice! No, 100% pigeon. It's very rare that we shoot the pretty birds only if the farmer wants one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
