deny essex Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Went out with Cosd yesterday on club grounds , checked all the pea fields all had birds on them, not huge numbers but one in particular had a reasonable flightline, decided where to set up and then up rolled the crop sprayer. Back in the landy and off to our second choice , Cosd went ahead walking across and up the inclined field while I sorted some kit out, started to follow him and had real bad pain in my left heel, eye watering limping pain, no clues why maybe I had a small stumble on a field and pulled something but wasnt good for sure. By the time I had limped to Cos he had set the hide up, we set out the decs, 6 with Decoy dippa's 2 FUD dippa's and cos's turbo flapper, the birds didnt pour in but we had a few and missed a few in the first hour . Then ! yep another crop sprayer, in with the decs and sit watching him go up and down for half an hour, we did chat to him and he was nice enough to do our lower half of field 1st but it still disturbed the area for a good hour or more. Once he had moved on out with the decs again and we continued shooting. We had some cracking shots down and some embarrasingly easy ones missed, my foot was giving me hell and not matter how much I wanted to stand and take a shot the pain was to distracting to always get away with it. Cos's magic turbo finger button worked well drawing birds off their distant line and the Dippa's happily bobbed up and down adding to the picture. About halfway through the session Cos noticed my wallet on the ground in the hide , new trousers **** pockets, it was then I noticed my other wallet was gone , containing my firearms and shootgun certs, we carried on and finished the afternoon with 25 , sunburnt, in pain, disturbed, minus a wallet but we still had a good time and pleased to say the DECOY DIPPA'S performed fine so more to make now pre orders. We spent the next hour and a half after packing up retraceing our steps to try and find my missing wallet in the fields we visited, not a lotta chance when its a camo wallet . No luck with finding it so reported it lost, It could turn up in a packet of sainsburys frozen peas I guess Cos got flack for being late home from his mrs and as was said on pigeon watch that he would carry my gear , well he didnt, pooo baaa Cos None the less a good day in good company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
