the pelt man Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Hi Guys, Well what a day Wanted to get out on the pigeon but the Mrs had booked in to have her hair done at 9am said she would be back for 11am :yp: (you know how long these things take). She got back around 11.30, not bad but i wanted to be set up for 11am. Anyways, CP had told me that this rape field we shoot was holding a lot of birds. I had taken a look on Friday and there were not that many so i shot over another field that day but only bagged 29 pigeon. So i went and took aanother look this morning, Well what can i say. The field that is the other side of the road CP told me about which i must tell you, also has a Gas Gun in was blue with Pigeon. Each time the Gun went of the Pigeon would lift 20/30 foot in the air then drop again some 500 yards away from the gun. I drove past this field and took a look in the field CP had told me about only to see Shawn set up over the back by the wood, so i went back to the field with the Gas gun. I let shawn know what i was up to and that we would bounce the Pigeon about. I was set up by 12.30pm and my hands didn't get time to get cold as my barrels were red hot and i couldn't load fast enough everything was going right, i had the magnet out, 22 home made shell decoys and 1 floater to guide them in and they just kept on coming CP called me to see what i was up to and then paid me a visit, i gave him my Gun and he hit a great double to start and had a few more birds before rushing home to get his gun and some carts to join in the fun for the last 45mins before the birds went to roost When he got back to me i was nearly out of carts and my gun was to hot to handle so i went to pick some of the many birds crashed into the bushes around the field while he finnished of the last few birds coming in before bed time We started to pack up at 4pm and picked 150 birds with around 165 downed but with my dog to young to take shooting and the light going 150 picked was good enough. Got down the club for a few beers and a chat with Shawn and the other who were not happy that they were out at the crack of dawn and only had 18 birds and i turnd up when i did and had all the shooting , but thats the way it goes sometimes . ''FIELD CRAFT BOYS, FIELD CRAFT'' Only down side to the day is i have buggerd my left ear drum after using these new ear plugs from E-Bay that some of you have been talking about on another thread and i should have listend to Garyb and left them alone, deaf in left ear at the mo but hope it will clear over night . Cheers anyway PELTMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
