Cranfield Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Find some short areas and you should find some pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyB Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I was out today shooting over rape. The field I was on is a bit behind the others in the area with only about 50% in flower because of the dry spell. I set up in the corner of the field where the plants are still lowish. Off a flight line but the pigeons are attracted to it. Had the magnet out and a couple of dozen shell deeks. pigeons and jackdaws were coming in to the pattern steadily all day. Ended up with 30 pigeons and 15 jackdaws. Pleased with that, it was a good day. Will be in the same place on monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
