pigeon controller Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 We headed out on Friday to the farm that we shot the 93 on the grass before the rain stopped play last weekend. We talked to the farmer and he said that the birds were on both fields of barley. So we watched it for ten minutes and they were crossing the grass as before so we set up on the grass with the wind off our backs. The problem with this was that it was a northerly wind and it meant that we were shooting into the sun which made it difficult at times we finished at 18.00 and picked up off the grass one hundred and fifty eight birds. When we stopped and told the farmer he said that his brother was having prolems at his farm which was twenty miles away, we said that we would look at it on Saturday. 08.00 saw us travelling to this new farm, on the way we saw no birds at all but they do not fly to early in the summer. When we arrived we introduced ourselves and he told us the way to the field. When we got there it was wheat and was as flat as a pancake in places but only twenty or so birds. We watched it for twenty minutes and only a few birds came but they all went down the far edge of the field. We decided to give it an hour but this meant a mammoth treck with the gear. We set up and waited, birds came to our decoys wrong way to wind over our heads but they came in so we decided to stay. During the day birds came to the decoys the correct way but were jinxing. We moved the magnet three or four times to see if this made any difference, it made a slight change but we found the problem when DB had a high crossing bird the feathers came down above us and went into a complete circle with the vortex. The birds were coming in to the decoys and loosing the wind. During the day it became very hot and so we had to put the shot birds into the carp sacks to stop the flyblow.In the picture there is ninety in the first and ten in the second.We packed up at 18.00 and picked up one hundred and sixty two birds. The freezers in the garage are working overtime with over three hundred birds in two days but It's great sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
