MM Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Well, what can i say. :good: Arrived at the farm 8am, unpacked and walked down to where the farmer had shown me the day before. Saw a few crows, so decided to set up where they had been feeding. First thing i noticed this morning, was that it was cold. Bloody cold in fact, and id forgoten my gloves. After an hour, no birds came in, but they were very busy in the next field so i packed up and moved a couple hundred meters. Got my pattern set up, and the birds started to come in. Managed to hit two over 30 mins, and then as i pulled left to crack a very easy bird, my eyes were just drawn to this................................. Great, just my luck! Unloaded, gun slipped, and over i slowly walked, arms outstretched in a Jesus Christ pose. As i neared the vans, i shouted...."Hello, anybody there?", half expecting the cast of Miami Vice to leap out, MP5's at the ready.......but nothing. I carried on to the vans and as i got to the open drivers side door, they are all sat there having brews and sandwiches. "hello chaps, are you looking for me?" i asked, ..."No mate, we are just here walking the Police Dogs. We wondered why you were walking over to us with your arms like that!" Feeling like a right ***. i made my way back to the hide, slipped on the mud and twisted my ankle. :angry: Anyways, the birds came right into the pattern and i ended up with 6 crows and 2 pigeons. To my utter shame i missed three crows that flew right in and sat in the middle of the deeks. . Should have had about 30, but being a gay shot, i need more practice. Didnt take a pic of the bag, as i had a tick stuck to my head and thought it more important to get rid of that. A very nice place, and lots of birds. cant wait to get back. (sore ankle and all) :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
