Pykie Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Dad and I popped round to see the keeper about 3pm yesterday, and it was very hot and clammy weather. He mentioned he had seen a few pigeons on some barley stubble on the estate and said we could pop up there if we wanted to have a go. As it was a lovely afternoon, we had a look and about fity odd took off out the trees and the ground. Thinking we could get a bag of maybe twenty or thirty, we set up two hides thirty yards apart under two oak trees and well, to cut a long story short, had a very constant flow of singles and pairs that decoyed beautifully. I took the first 8 birds with 8 shots, including a left and right, and the total at 8pm after a pick up with the three dogs was exactly an amazing 100 pigeons, plus 8 crows. I was using my Beretta ES100 auto, Dad his Maxus. All shot with Prima 7.5 cartridges, what we always use for decoying. Seeing as we only popped out for a chat with the keeper, what a bonus day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Good shooting. It proves the point that I have always maintained that 7 1/2's are plenty for decoyed pigeons providing the range is kept sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
