supergame Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 Went on a barley field that was well and truly germinated and the pigeons had long since left. My intention was to try and cut some birds off en route to a bean field. Several hundred have been feeding on the bean field, but it has been over shot by a few people. Two mates shot the field and struggled all afternoon for 26 birds. The said the birds were totally magnet and decoy shy, yet 500 yards away I shot 16 in two hours all of which came straight into my small pattern of 12 plastics and a floater on a field they had no interest in. Not a big bag but very satisfying considering the birds are so wary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 You had some good sport there, supergame. I can,t find any crop or area on my shooting grounds, that the pigeons are visiting wth any regularity or great enthusiasm. At present its a bit like, "want pigeons...must travel". I am tempted to try the crows and rooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
