asa-95 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I am not new to pigeon shooting, but i have recently moved house and started getting permission over here (northumberland). i am struggling to find the pigeons tho. I got into a good flight ine a couple of months ago of about 2000 pigeons on drilled wheat, but they have vanished. i was wondering if anyone can help tell me what the pigeons are feeding on this time of year. many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitchynik Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Woodland buds and blooms. I used to like this time of year when I was a nipper - would stake out the ash trees with an air rifle first thing and wait for them to fly in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duncan Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 unfortunetly my air rifle was sold so i only have a shotgun and a .22 LR any suggestions on that? Yep - save up for another air rifle. Personally, just as with the .22lr, I would not be without a decent air rifle because for some jobs they are the best or only tool in the box Brancher day on the 12th is a good case in point.

motty Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 The pigeons in my area are slowly creeping back on to the peas. They are still on rape in some areas and are starting to come out of the woods a bit more. I had a couple of half decent bags (50+) when some of the peas just started poking through. I expect to get some better bags in the next month on the peas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alastair0903 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 looks like my local pigeons have finaly found the beans that are just starting to poke through , hopefully this means i should get some more good shooting over peas when they are poking through. going to have a go on the beans tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
