Salop Matt Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Ive always found the best evenings roost shooting has been with plenty of wind. It seems to keep them moving and also makes far more challenging shooting . But every feb after the pheastant season when we do 5-6 weeks on the trott of roost shooting there never seems to be any wind. Toady its blowing a gale here so I recon there should be some good shooting this evening ! Is anyone giving it a bash tonight ? If so let us know how you got on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so let us know how you got on We went out decoying yesterday and then stuck around for a bit of roostshooting. It was lovely and windy which made for a fun afternoon, however, not a single pigeon came into the copse to roost. It was like that last time we went, but then the weather was truly awful. The copse is quite exposed; do pigeon roost away from their normal spot if the weather is wild? One thing i was please with was our decoy pattern, just a traditional v but the pigeons really committed. We even had three crows in a line come in really low to the pattern.

reddan Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 i hope you shoot the crows I can say we shot at them. A slight breakdown in communication meant we both shot the same one. The other two scarpered fairly quickly after tht. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
