smig4373 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Well....I went up to the fields that i shot yesterday...I went well armed this time with the hide,rotary,flask and a few sarnies....Missus dropped me off about 12ish..On unpacking my kit i realised i'd forgot the hide poles...A quick scout round the fields and i found some canes that were left over from the rabbit netting...I set up the rotary with a couple of yesterdays jackdaws on and set out a pattern using all the birds from yesterday.I put 5 pigeon shells out to away to my right.....The Blackies were soon coming in...Quite a few of them were shying away...I thought it was the rotary scaring them off,I picked a few pigeons off that were floating over so i changed the birds over to pigeons and put the rotary by the shells....The Crows were playing ball now and came in a treat...After about 3pm,It seemed that it was jackdaw hour and the Crows seemed to dry up....I finished the day at 4-15 with 33 birds down..Managed to pick 31 of them...A nice mix of 17 jackdaws,10 crows and 6 pigeons....I had a left and right Crow/Jackdaw with made my day.....By far the best bit was the fact i only fired 72 shots...Kill rate of 2.18 shots per bird...Which is by far my best ever.......Well chuffed... HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL FROM CORNWALL...LETS HOPE IT'S A GOOD ONE.... :good: :lol: :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
