Pigeons on the drills

Down in the south, we don't have as many pigeons on the drills as you lucky ******* oop north :lol: But we thought we would give it a go :yes:

My son, Ben and I set out at 7am. Hide done, decoys out and loaded up by 8am :good: Then as forecast, the rain started :sly: Still, we knew it was going to happen., so out came the fishing brolly. Interestingly, the birds didn't seem to be bothered by it, despite its shiny appearance. I had pondered spending blokey/decoyer time in the shed putting some camo material on it, but I'm not sure it would have made any difference :no:

Anyway, the birds came in all beit slowly. The flapper went out, then came in. The whirly went out, then came in. Hypers on/off, dead birds on/off. Ben shot l;ike a demon, I shot like a plonker (Rodders) He managed a 12 kill streak (call of duty terminology) but I did redeem myself with the highest 2 birds of the day :yahoo:

We made a full day of it, and whilst it was a modest bag, it was great to be out for the whole day. We packed up at 5pm with 31 pigeons, 3 crows and a jacky. ( one pigeon declined to be in the photo through shyness issues, and waited near the truck for us :)
