aga man Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 despite having plenty of permissions with recently drilled peas and beans, the pigeons are showing no interest. we decided to a drive and look at the rape which is mostly in flower and unshootable. we noticed that a tree at the bottom of a fifty acre field we have been shooting was full of pigeons. on closer inspection the rape there was very short an well grazed. although rabbits are present theres not big numbers.despite bright sunshine and 6 mph sw wind. we decided to set up under the tree as we have done throughout the winter. after setting up the hide, we put out two magnets with dead birds and three on floaters. within minutes the birds were coming in. although the bag is quite modest by some standards on here, we were very pleased and had an enjoyable afternoon with a steady stream of birds. we started at 1pm and finished at 5, with 50 birds shot and 48 picked. we have taken bags of 30 and 40 regularly from this hide during the winter and still they come.[we been myself and pw member Tan}. the damage to the rape can be seen in the picture.
