rob speakman Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 2nd DAY OUT WITH ACTION PIGEONS I enjoyed my last outing with action pigeons so much that I booked a 2nd day with John Dandy the guy that runs the guided days. It’s a bit of a drive to John’s from Leigh as John lives near Derby, but I really think it’s worth the effort. I arrived at John’s at 7.30am he had his 4x4 packed up with all his gear and was ready to set off. This time John was taking me a very short 10 minute drive from his home. We were to shoot over wheat. On arriving at the field we unloaded the gear not to far from a Badger set as this is where the pigeons were feeding. Not far from the Badger set there was an area that the Badgers had flattened and the pigeons were dropping in to this as well as the wheeling’s. We set up the hide under a willow tree at the end of the hedgerow, John places six shell decoys in the area the badger had been playing in along with 3 dead pigeon in cradles and a flapper. Then he put 3 bouncers some distance facing the decoys. It didn’t take long before the pigeons started to come in. I shot a few, but every now and then when we thought a pigeon was coming in it would pull away. John went out and changed his pattern, putting the flapper more to the edge of the area. This seemed to do the trick and it was not long before I was in double figures. It was a bit of an on and off day as we had a good few showers, but as soon as they blew over, the pigeons started again. At the end of the day I had 50+ pigeons in the bag for about 90+ shots, not bad for a £60.00 guided day. If you want John’s number drop me a line Happy shooting, Rob Speakman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
