matt 205 gti Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 A very exciting time of year is upon us ,just a quick post to give you all a bit of inspiration,went down to one of the fields i got permission on and the corn is more or less grown still very green but in full stance,i had a bit of a wander round as you do to make the most of sunny days on a scouting mission for later days and seen pigeons are back in the area and dropping in on the edges of the fields to try there luck,so went back week later and got out the van only to find not 1 bit of activity and there was the farmer again he came over for a chat and i told him that the pigeons where here last week but not now = bit strange ,and then he said the penultimate words if you get set up i bet you can pull em in,now as 1 rule number one stands we all now you dont setup if the birds are not there,but to save face and keep him happy i thought to myself im going to get all my stuff out the van and take the long walk across the 100 acre field to see if i can bag out in the wood,setup on edge on the wood and had 16 shells down on the areas where the field was very patchy and nothing really growing there ,then 2 flappers in the 4 foot corn on poles,went to set the hide up and before you know it ,it was rustling around in the wood and the skies had turned grey and this was not cloud = pigeons,in a massive flock of activity they where diving down again onto the edge of the corn,about 20 yard away needless to say they had a 1 way ticket,was down field all in all for about 3 hours and bagged 12 ,not amazing by any means ,but also nice to make the most of the day, but just goes to show happy times are upon us,the birds are literally waiting in the wings ,all in all brilliant day bring on summer !
