pigeon pete Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) well we went back up the farm at 1pm for a drive around ,spent 2 hours watching and driving around looking for pigeons ,only seen 6 odd ones flitting around ,we were just talking of going home and we spotted a few over a cut rape field ,so we set up the magnet and deeks ,then sat for another hour ,nothing to talk about ,then moved along the hedge about 500m where they were flying in and out of a wood ,but had a few shots but still no good ,we then seen a few land at the end of the field another 500m away ,so we moved again ,by this time we were sweating buckets and very tired walking up and down hills ,then this was about 6pm and we just put out 12 deeks ,and we started to dropped a few ,we only had 20 birds in 2 hours but lost 4 in cover crop ,but we must of seen 100+ birds but they were all in different places in the field ,they had us hopping lol ,good to see them back ,farmer now rolling the stubble ,so hope to see some black's , Edited August 18, 2012 by pigeon pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon pete Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 went out again yesterday afternoon 2pm till 7pm ,the pigeons were in the same rape field as last week,so we set up along the same hedge ,there was 3 of us ,we had a gap in the hedge so we took it in turns to be back gunner ,i set deeks into the wind ,pigeons were coming in from all ways ,very strange no pattern to there flight ,we had a flapper and a bobber and a fan deek out ,had to pull in the fan and flapper in as they didn't like it ,THEN in come the black clouds ,well what a display ,lighting all around up down left and right ,rain like ive never seen before,3 of us under a poncho tied in the gap in the hedge for 2 hours ,but we still had the odd pigeon coming in ,we only had 25 but a good laugh ,i think the reason there was no pattern to the way they were flying in was over half of them shot were very young birds ,found another new flight line so we are going to try that next ,did see a lot more pigeons about so hopefully we will start getting bigger bags ,and the crows are back as the farmer has ploughed the field ,still got all the barley out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yickdaz Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 they are starting to play ball at last this last few weeks,after struggling to make any really good bags all summer, and it has been said still a lot of wheat to be cut on our perms and birds are in the area so still a lot of shooting to go at next month or so the weather has played a part with the harvest this year it put it back a few weeks around us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
