Was out today on drilled Barley, the first drillings we've shot this year. Things are a bit behind up here due to the snow and rain from last week

 

Soren shot 103 for 302 shots

Apart from during the wet spell last week it has been a good month of March so far with over 1800 pigeons shot since the 1st.

 

The birds are only just starting to switch to the new drillings and lot are still on Rape an Clover. We're out on Rape tommorrow again. :yp:

 

Cheers,

Mark.

Thanks guys. :)

 

 

they have not been hard to decoy in fife then this week :lol:

 

Quite often they are hard to decoy but you've got to be smarter than them. I often switch from plastics to dead birds, from magnets to flappers or neither depending on the area I'm shooting. ;)

 

 

Top marks to Poontang, Xtremas they are! :good:

great bags poor cartridge to kill ratio coxy

 

I'd have to agree there, the ratio isn't great. Over the last 3 days it worked out 3.19 shots per bird.

 

In their defence, most of my Danish clients fly with RyanAir (from Billund) and therefore can't bring their own guns (RyanAir policy :no: ) So they are all shooting with hired guns that they aren't used to shooting with.

 

Cheers,

Mark.

Also had a bag of 64 for 143 shots on drilled barley today but couldn't be bothered with the photo by then! :lol:

 

Plenty of birds moving in this strong wind just now.

 

Cheers,
