mrpip Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Did a recce on Saturday afternoon, found a few pigeon feeding on a fresh drilled 10 acre wheat field, still loads of wheat & beans from last crop on top & it had not been rolled yet. This field has always produced decent bags in the past when its been rape or peas, there was a good flight line over far end steady flow of pigeon though most passing over onto neighbouring farm were I haven’t got the shooting. Went back on Sunday at 12.30 with my brother set up 2 hides 20 yds apart along a copse of willows & hawthorn overgrown with bramble & nettles which borders 1 side of the field, rotor & a rough U pattern with 10 shells between us. Bright sunshine at first steady shooting, then the wind picked up & it threatened rain, pigeon not committing to the pattern but being drawn to the rotor. Had some cracking high birds & testing shots, Both dogs worked hard with some excellent blind retrieves behind finished about 5 ish final count 70 pigeons picked & 1 crow, my total 41 & the crow. Noticed today good size bunches of birds starting to flock up especially when we were packing up estimated over 100 in 1 bunch heading back towards the roost area.

Passed a field of rape today just showing 20 plus feeding, but probably on whats left of the previous wheat, theres plenty of rape & winter linseed going in this year, been told price is high. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
