paul p Posted March 4, 2002 Report Share Posted March 4, 2002 i have set up at that time before but i have found its best to let them have there first feed if you put them off the field as soon as they come from roost a lot of the time they dont come back they go to next rape field which is often not far away if on drillings and they have built up and there is plenty of movement to and from the field iwill set up early but still let them have there first feed dont make the mistake i made last year i set up at first light shot 37 but by 12 oclock it was dead so i packed up two days after my mate shot it he set up at 11 oclock shot till they went to roost he picked up 89 birds if i had sat it out i might of got a good bag my mate said he shot about 50 in the last two hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 I have to agree with Paul P. It is best to let the pigeons feed for a while before shooting - that way you should be able to decoy them back again. I normally shoot a bit under a flightline first thing, and then move on to my main location after a few hours. It gives the birds time to settle at my main shoot and helps me "get my eye in" before I start. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
