motty Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 It's been a difficult start to the year for many people as far as good bags of pigeon are concerned. I've struggled - my best bag prior to today has been 59. But one of my favourite fields had been drilled a few days ago. It's the same field that i took 800 pigeons off in 4 visits towards the end of last year. My mate and i arrived at around 8am this morning to set up. We didn't do any reconnaisance yesterday as we were both busy. We were still hopeful of decent pigeon numbers. We set up where around 100 pigeons were already feeding. A hide was put around a tree and 20 fresh dead birds were put out. A magnet was added. It was a slow start, as expected. As the day wore on the pigeons came in more frequently. By 1pm we must have killed about 60. There were some slow periods and some hectic periods to follow. My mate and i both shot ok and a fair few left and rights were downed. Towards the end of the day the magnet was taken out of service as i felt that some of the birds that didn't commit had tried to come in earlier in the day and the magnet may have put them off. We packed up just before 5pm, with a nice bag of 145 pigeons and 2 jackdaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
