blondie1973 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hi all, I'm fairly new to pigeon shooting (8 months), am planning my next outing next monday in the Cuxton/Halling area of kent and am wondering if any of you more experienced guys are available for some help (tutoring) ?? The farm i have permission on has 2 fields set to turnips and 1 to barley, My last two outings have been very grim (not a dickie bird) so to speak, not sure if i'm doing somthing wrong as i was faily sucessfull before the snow arrived last december. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondie1973 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hi Retromic, they seem to be shying away, there seems to be a flight line along the tree line at the rear of the field, they come along twos & threes turn toward the decoys and then seem to shy off steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be able to come down and give you a hand in a few weeks on any day that will suit you, I cant come before that as I have just started a new contract and cant get the time off. If you like you can come up to me on one of my permissions and I will show you the ropes there are plenty about at the moment.
