blade Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 My mate rang me yesterday at 11.00 am he had been out 2 hours and shot 180 pigeons.Took it with a pinch of salt i was at work and thought it was a wind up.Low and behold he rang me at 17.30 and his total bag was 669 picked up and he has photos that i will hopefully put up on here.He was shooting over drilled beans.Recced the field the day before and estimated 6 to 7 thousand pigeons to be feeding on it.Its his birthday today so he is to knackered to celebrate but what a bag.Hopefully have pics later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Right lads my mate has just come clean about his big bag ? .He never shot 669 he was winding me up .I feel a right **** for posting on here before i had definate proof .But if you shoot with someone for 2 years and i have seen him bags of nearly 300 you take his word .Would like to applogise to everyone who took an interest in the thread .And as you can imagine we are not on talking terms at the moment .But i suppose its mostly my fault for posting a thread with only hear say as proof .So once again my deepest applogies to one and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
