Ears Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 My best is 198 in one day on rape stubble with a 247 shots on decoys and remerable it was too and one day i might beat my record. Days like this dont come very often, though i have shot over 100 birds on my own a few times now. only managed 11 pigeons and 3 rooks this weekend though.

kwiky Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 23 with an airgun (hw95k), decoying on laid barley, 17 were shot in the ground and the other 6 from a tree above my hide, i couldnt beleive it, they just kept coming in, i barely had a chance to reload, apparently the next day another fella took 93 at the same spot but he was using a shotgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamspartacus Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 51 woodies and a couple of crows shot over bean stubble last summer. Followed that with another sizeable bag in the same spot a week later. Glorious sunshine and birds coming in all day, looking forward to shooting over stubbles again!!

the pelt man Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 36 in about 4 hours. With .22 FAC Airrifle. FERALS, For Brritish Waterways. They were making to much noise outside there meeting rooms, & Crapping all over the courtyard. Turned out to be a nice Annual earner. 36 was the first year, since then its in the Twenties.

badgerman Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 mine's about 50, can't quite remember exactly, great day out tho, however, with semi-auto, flapper, and several more decoys on there way in the next couple of weeks, i reckon this summer should be a good one!

Ferretboy111 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Mines 54 on maize stubble to 110 shots i think if i remember. Id love to shoot into the hundreds but id hate it aswel as it 30 pigeons alone weigh alot by themselves let alone 100 odd. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
