mrpip Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Went on some wheat stubble this afternoon about 2.30 strong breeze blowing, 50 plus pigeon feeding under a couple of trees on far side, plenty flighing in area. The trees in this field are mature oaks the remains of long gone hedgerows when it was pasture. Set up on boundry hedgerow were they had been feeding, 2 trees on my left out in field about 30yds away, rotar & 10 shells out in front wind blowing from left. Pigeon were back within 10 mins of setting the rotar going, plenty being drawn in but would'nt commit. Managed to put 4 in the bag all well grown young birds, to many shying off so took rotar in & the shells, & put the 4 dead pigeons on cradles, pigeons seemed a bit more confident some decoying straight in others passing over in range, built pattern up to 10. It went dead at 5 so decided to give the rotar anther go, few birds still flighting, still well shy. Took it back in & had a steady trickle all single adult birds, finished up picking 27, most had full crops mixture of wheat & rape seed.

mrpip Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Well done how many carts you go through, did you miss any. [/quote Had 43 shots, some taken with second shot, on average through the year I tend to be around the 2 for 1 mark, some days things don't allways go to plan never seem to remember the exact number on those days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
