s.stimson Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 I'v been shooting for about 3 months now but have only managed to get out 4 times at the weekends due the well "life" in general. However now the summer evenings are here (we hope) is it worth going after work? By the time I'm set up and in the hide it would be 5.30 - 6.00. And I guess to be polite to the neigbours I would have to knock of about 8 ish. So what do you think? Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.223 Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 hi simon i think it would be more than worth it to go out in the evenings now the days are longer its one of the best times of the day espesially in really hot weather as they all will be feeding in the cooler evenings. .223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farma Geddon Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 I leave off at four and can get set up by arpast.You will have good sport at this time of the day.If you cant find many feeding,you can have some good flighting as they come home.Farmageddon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Austin Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Have been out at various times of the day during the past week. with the long day they are about around first light and then again from later in the morning right through to dusk. But only comming into the decoys in ones with the occasional pair. Looks like they are spoilt for choice around our way doing peas, sugarbeet, lettice, clover on short grazing. rape and more. They move on very quickly to other feeding grounds if disturbed. I have found a copy of the Arthur coats 'Pigeon Shooting' whilst some of the info is well past its' best by date' the sections on habit, tactics, Hides and decoys has put us right and drastically improved the amount of shots, pity a lot still manage to fly away intact . (younger son now getting 2 birds in 3 shots he's a lot quicker than me!). Andy Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
