pigeon controller Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Friday, Picked DB up at 09.00 in the pouring rain, we looked at each other and confimed that we were Mad, headed out to an area that is shot regulary but has lots of stubble. Found a rape stubble field that had a few feeding at the up wind edge. Contacted the farmer and he told us it had been shot two days before and they only had fifty. We watched the field for about fifteen minutes and two joined but the bonus was that the rain had stopped so we set up. We were shooting by eleven with the birds not decoying at all so we made lots of changes but it made no effect, by this time the rain and wind were giving us a bad time I had to lean on the brolly shaft to stop it taking the hide down. While all this was going on the birds started to pile in and I managed to tie the brolly secure. When the rain stopped and the sun came out the birds just swiched off . We packed up at 16.00 and picked up one hundred and twelve birds. Sturday Picked DB up at 09.00 and decided to drive round to a farm we only shoot in the summer as the flight line can be awesome but it can also be nil. We drove to the farm and told the farmer that we would be about he said that some other shooters were on the south fields. We set off looking and found a stubble barley field with a few birds feeding down by the stream, we could hear the other shooters in the distance having lots of shots, we could see the flightline to there field and it was constant. We had a different flightline to our field so we set up. We were shooting by 11.30 and started to collect a good number of birds and we realised that this could be a mega day the other shooters were matching us shot for shot. we stopped shooting at 17.00 as I realised that I would start to have a problem freezing the number of birds. We picked up three hundred and eighty four birds. We presume that the other shooters must have had a simular amount . What a Day!!!!!!

pigeonblasterian Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 You must have some very good land for pigeons around you.It must be short of pigeon shooters in your neck of the woods the numbers you get when you go out.That is where folks want to be asking for permission around the same area you shoot.Good shooting.

We have loads of shooters in our area as I said in the post there were shooters on the same farm as us. The trick is to first find the birds.

pigeonblasterian Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 We have loads of shooters in our area as I said in the post there were shooters on the same farm as us. The trick is to first find the birds. Then you must have a lot of birds in your area anyway the bags you get.Probably all the shooters in your area were on the same farm at the same time.Though none of them can be pigeon watch members as they are not posting details of large bags in your area.I realise that you have to find the birds first.But to shoot the amount you do you must have lots of birds in your surrounding area. Your doing on a weekly basis what the majority of people on here would be happy with once a year. Come to Yorkshire and do the same every week all you have to do is find the birds.I think you would find it a bit more of a challenge to get the same results. Send some pigeons up here.
