Biggest Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Just got my first permission today on a couple of rape fields! WooHoo!!!! After having a walk around the boundaries so I know where they are I decided to set up for a couple of hours to see if there was anything happening, the rape was drilled quite late so not much showing. There was not a pigeon in site! Even after a few hours there was still nothing to be seen. But on the drive back home there were loads of them flying about, pesky things! Shame I didn't even get to fire 1 shot but I suppose that's pigeons for you. I am new to pigeon shooting and think my decoy pattern was OK, but when there is nothing flying by you can have all the gizmos in the world and they still wont be attracted.

semiautolee Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 well done mate on getting your first permission. maybe when you get a bit time get some binocs and sit and watch pigeons see where there flight lines are etc etc. you will get there in the end. :good: :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Don't worry too much for now. The real fun starts when it is harvested, preferably swathed first, so it lays for a couple of weeks drying out and you can set up in it and get all the new crop of young pigeons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
