Stealth Stalker Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well.... Bit of a mixed day, I got to the wheat stubble field I,ve been watching for the past 2 days letting a good number of birds build, to find the farmer removing the bales I went over and joked with him that he's just taken my hide & he replies with 'it gets worse were drilling the field in an hour' B0ll0x! So I have a frantic drive round the rest of the farm & find them drilling/ploughing every other alternative field, so I go back to the stubble & set up as far away from where he's gonna start drilling hoping to get a couple of hours shooting. The last trailer full with bales is 100 yards in front of my hide and deeks, cue some plum in a white shirt and tie to prance across the field and start taking pics of the trailer I kid you not he was lying on the stubble taking pics of trailer & bales/ close ups/ different angles, all while pigeons were pouring into the deeks, I couldn't shoot cause he would have been slap bang in the middle of my shot pattern. Anyway after half hour of this malarkey he farks orf, and I start getting some shooting about 1.30, the birds were'nt deeking how I'd like as I was forced into a fairly tight corner of the field, but I still managed to pick 85 birds before the tractor was almost on top of my decoys at 4.30. Not a bad day on reflection, I reckon it would have been a 150-200 bird day if it were'nt for all the distractions. High light of the day was getting £41 cash for the shot birds, thats a total of £95 this week selling pigeons, all proceeds going to the Croatia Boar shooting fund I'll try & sort another day if your not to busy! I can't up load a pic the wife has just informed me the bloody pup has chewed my phone cable SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 That sounds like a really good and one to talk about when you have a drink, always better with alcohol induced exageration. I have your reloading gear at home,. Catamong is coming around tomorrow to collect his new toy, if you want to meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can count the number of times work has got in the way of real life on one hand, it is extremely rare, but happens unfortunately :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
