proTOM1 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Got a call last night from 1 of my farmers telling me the next farm over will be calling me as got problem with pigeons ,not 10 mins later the farmer rang and asked me to meet him today . So at 12.30 i met him and after a chat he showed me around the land (well some of it ) he then took me to a field of swathed rape he had seen 1000s of birds on that morning and left me to it . The problem i was facing is the field was a huge field (167acres) the biggest ive ever tried to cover myself ,anyway chose the far end under a sitty tree .Walked all my gear over then saw i could of got the truck there setup with 12 shells on the swath and the rotary to my left 10 yards out and had birds coming in before i was ready but after 15 mins the size of the field became a problem with them landing in the middle and the other end . Sat it out and was about to packup at 4.30pm when 2 came in and so it started with a few birds coming in every few mins had a few hot barrel moments but had to packup at 6.30pm as was out of carts good day in the end and a new permission to boot Final tally 127 picked 12 lost in wheat behind (camra was flat but got a pic from the chiller ) Edited July 15, 2011 by proTOM1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 excellent result tom,you did not lose too many in the swath either which is also a result as it can be a pain in the backside to find them at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
