brooktrout Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 Most of us naturally take care to be well out of sight while decoying pigeons with a shotgun. Last summer two of us were shooting on a wind layed wheatfield in driving drizzle, visibility was good despite the rain. The birds were coming in consistently, about three or four birds at a time. I walked out into the field to reset a few fallen birds and was amazed to see them still coming in, with some actually landing about 30 yds away. I shot about four while standing out in the open field. The only thing that we can put it down to was the driving rain affecting their vision. I think we shot around 50 birds that morning in about three hours, no great shakes, but interesting all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
