eltel Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Finally after my 11th time out, I've finally shot my first pigeon!!! Please don't laugh! I tried everything, decoys, different patterns, floaters, dead ones, I even tried making different types of floaters, I've studed the pics on here read a lot of different posts for weeks and weeks, spoke to loads of friends that shoot and it's taken this long!!! This time I simply sat in one of the perminant hides on my new permission, no decoys nothing and waited for them to fly over. The rape is in full flower and about 4ft tall, was well chuffed, but not as much as the dog he was like, thank god for that, something to do!
