You were probably the only one out in the parish.

Every Saturday in February is the traditional time.

Some silly people are so selfish. One large estate near here always starts a week or two after everyone else, hoping to have the pigeon driven into their woods.

Most people want to start too early in the afternoon. A few shots and the pigeon are in the next parish, not to return that day.

I reckon shooting should not start before 4pm on the first Saturday in February. By the end of the month it can be an hour later. That way, they fly a few hundred yards to the next wood where there should be another of your party waiting. The later its starts, the more they want to find somewhere PDQ.

This just happens some nights or they could of been in your wood due to some one elso disturbing them out of there original roosting wood.

Now is a good time to go most of the shoots (Big & Small) are now finnished so you may find there wiill be more people out roosting, this will keep the little ******* moving around.
