JDog Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I had a very fine two hours shooting over a small patch of laid wheat this afternoon. There was a strong wind and when the birds came down it across the front of my hide before turning in to the decoys they were very difficult targets indeed. Some birds never did turn in so I had to take my chances when I could and shoot them as fast crossers. I ended up with 20 for 45 shots. However I would say that I would much rather shoot 20 of these difficult birds than 100 'doddlers' coming into decoys with no wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shooting and I agree with the doddler comment but it has to be done for the crop protection we get the permission for . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Well done there fella. That's a decent kill ratio especially for challenging shots. I know what you're saying about the decoying birds, but you do feel a sense of achievement when your pattern just works pulling everything to it!
