proTOM1 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Today me a stu headed to the field of beat we shot on sat and there was a few on so got setup it looked good as had a bird down after 5 mins but then nothing . I then got a call from my mate who was shooting over some peas asking for my help so me and stu packed up and stu went home . When i got to my mate he was on 68 but said he needed me about 200 yards down to his left as they had started dropping in there alot ,so off i went and got setup . I was in the hide and had my first shot at 1pm it was crazy with birds everywhere and boy did they wont to come in to the decoys , my mate was well in on the action aswell . By 5pm i was on 100 but new i was soon to go as other half was off out leaving me with the little 1 ,so at 6pm i was on my way out of the field leaving the mass of birds still intent on feeding . When i left my mate was racing towards the 200 mark Final count back at the yard was 118 with 15 young birds , pic from in the chiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookiemonsterandmerlin. Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Well done Tom Birds are still very thin on the ground here I shoot wiltshire oxfordshire and some glouscestershire nearly 50000 acres I done two hundred miles today and never saw one field that had more than 20 birds feeding with no traffic into the fields either. I think the laid barley may pull some birds but I think now birds have setteled down I think it will be till autum before birds start shifting about. Kind regards OTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 The peas we were on today were put in early and just coming in to pod the rest of mine should be in pod within a week or 2 Thanks for that, ours are not in flower yet and 100 acres of vining peas were only drilled two weeks ago. The pigeons haven't been on the drilled peas so I am waiting for the pods to show, with fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a problem, we are now finding them hitting the peas that are in flower or just going in to pod tho another mate on a near permission has been getting great bags on peas from the word go but there combine peas and a very big type at that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
