pigeon controller Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 We started out on Friday morning at 08.00 and found lots of birds on clover and tree buds but not many large flocks they were in tens and fifteens after about eighty miles we found a flock of about sixty on clover at 15.00. So we went to see the farmer and he said that he did not want us the shoot as his lambs were due and he thought that this might cause them to abort. Fair play as this is his livelyhood. So being a bit miffed we carried on looking. As we drove down to look at some more clover DB noticed some birds setting for a field at the back of a pine wood we were going down the track to the farm and the farmer was coming up so we stopped. He said that it was his niebours field and he had planted ten acres of rape as a trial but it had failed at the edges and he said carry on and he would tell his niebour. We did not know that it was there as you can not see it from the road due to the pine wood. We were set up by 15.45 and started shooting and ended the day with 118. We started out today, Monday and looked at the rape we shot on Friday not a bird in sight so we carried on and set up on a clover field which had about sixty birds on it after an hour one returned so we moved on and set up on another clover field thirty miles away same again on returned in an hour so packed up and moved on. We found another flock on clover of about eighty birds and decided to walk them off before setting the hide and decoys. We watched the field and they went to some trees close by and then started to return to the field so we set up and took a chance . They came back in one's and two's and gave us some great shooting and we ended the day with 58 birds after covering nearly eighty miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Well done for your perseverance. Keeping on the move and looking for the birds is the only way to succeed for most of the year. The shooter that sits and waits, hoping the pigeons will come to them misses out on a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
