paulr5604 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Left work early on friday for another go ob the pigeons. Went to the farm and was told i could set up on the same field as last time. When i got to the field there were no pigeons at all but thought i would set up anyway managed to get the hide and decoys set up by 12.15 after about half an hour i got the first pigeon to committ to the pattern but as soon as i lifted the gun above the hide he was off needless to say i missed it. there was plenty of pigeons and crows flying around but not one of them committed so had lots of shots but missed all of them. Used a jack pyke cammo head net for this outing and i have to say that i think that it helped. pigeon 2 me 0 still, i enjoyed the afternoon. Its all practise afterall. Looking forward to the next rematch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it helped because last time none committed and hardly saw a bird all day but this time saw loads flying near me but they flew off when i moved my gun to get ready for the shot.

Pointer Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 You need to head a tad south into Licolnshire, loads of pigeons around here. Had 2 reasonable days last week on rape for 148 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
