person22 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 pigeon decoys were bringing them in better than my crow decoys, some of them even landed which they never usually do, i shot one flying in towards me and it just missed me and landed in the hedge !!! cant wait to buy my semi on monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hitman Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Out today on two fields, first field drilled beans ,spent most of 2hrs sheltering from rain,sleet, and hail,shot 12. Second field drilled barley,the farmer had finished drilling it that morning. The sun came out and i shot another 49. I had some ramblers ,who were lost walking across the field, who wanted to know the whole story of pigeon shooting, so i lost a good half hour shooting.Then a hen sparrowhawk had several attacks on my decoys. So 61 shot ,and well entertained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Went out on Friday, Things started slow but picked up later when the sun got out. Managed 23, but it was hard going as the field is quite big (OSR) They did decoy well and the big flocks seem to have broken up.
