M ROBSON Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) I've been getting a good few calls from farmers to go and shoot pigeons over Rape and Kale. I've got a group of guns coming in tonight but I've had so many calls I went out myself today to try and keep them all happy! I was set up at 10:00 on a patch of about 4 acres of fodder Rape. I had a magnet and a dozen shells propped up above the snow. The front view. View to the right, (with 4 pigeons that went past while I was messing with the camera! ) View to the left, I must admit to not seeing quite a few birds that were coming in as I spent most of the time gazing at the wonderful view!! By 12:30 I'd picked up 42 woodies and 4 Carrion Crows for 65 shots . Since I was getting a bit cold and I'd done enough banging to keep the farmer happy I packed up and headed for home. All of the birds were in good condition, I even shot a fat squab!! Cheers, Mark. Edited January 6, 2010 by M ROBSON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M ROBSON Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks folks, the pictures don't really do the view much justice really. Lindsay, I had my shells about 10-15 yards to the right (downwind) of the magnet, laid out on the snow (no pegs), just to the right of the green patch in the first pic. I left them a good distance from the magnet due to the clear conditions. They stood out well sat on top of the snow and a good few birds decoyed or came round for a second look. Cheers, Mark.
