big simmo999 Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Had a good day out with a mate yesterday on a field of barley, on an estate where we both beat. The keeper told us a patch of barley that had been flattened was getting serious attention from the pigeons and crows. We set up with a rotary and some shell deeks and crow deeks in the hole. Not many pigeons came - but crows did. We ended up with 52 crows and 6 woodies for 4 hours shooting We'll give it a few days rest and have another go!

Cranfield Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Sounds like a fair bit of action. There does seem to be a lot of the black birds about at the moment. Must be this years young boosting the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrelman Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Nice One, I was out on some peas that were about 6 inches high 2 days ago. Pigeons seem to have moved form there now which is why I got nothing. However there were 200-300 crows feeding on the peas further up the field. We will be going back to have a go at them soon.

big simmo999 Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Cheers for the comments boys - and no Jonno I didn't take the dog for two reasons 1/ the weather was very hot and sunny and she's just come into season 2/ I new that there would be plenty of crows about - worst thing you can do is send a dog for them ******* i'll have to get some more cartridges now !! (still using Starlight 5's on crows & victory 480 pigeon (6's) on the woodies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
