Topgunners Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 After yesterday's bag of pigeons it took our total for this year to 3,975 pigeons and as I was on my own first part today I went out to shoot the 25 we needed for 4,000. I drove round for miles trying to find a decent flock to have a go on. But the goddam drizzle & showers looked like I was to be thwarted in my goal. I finally found a pocket of birds on some rape stubble and set up my hide & umbrella about 08.30am. By 11 o'clock I had only shot 24 and had to wait half-an hour for that 25th bird. YIPPPPEEEEEEEEE. I had rang my colleague Alan at least 7 times but no answer on the mobile. He had deliberately left it at home whilst he was working saying " he didn't want to be *****d off by me getting a big bag whilst he had to work" He came and joined me about 1 o'clock and we found a big flock, speeding about in the high winds and "spit" . We set up 2 hides and ended up with 132 pigeons + My MAGICAL 25 , Total 157. Even had time to stop and chat with LURCHER BOY (on the mobile phone) who was out and about somewhere. (How did you get on mate??) Finished at 7.00pm and I had shot the last 6 whilst packing up and with a BRIGHT RED Vivaro Van parked 20 yards from the deeks. Could not believe it. :( Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
