yickdaz Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) 2 of us went after the pigeons today on some standing wheat with small laid patches dotted about, i has a look at this field yesterday after work and birds were flighting in non stop from all over the place, so thought we would hit them today, we got there for 11am nothing going on the wheat, but a few birds flighting to and fro, watched for a while and decided to split up, so i went 200 yards further down the field in the middle of 2 oaks the birds were passing over i just set the rotary out because there wasn,t a big enough laid patch to put any decoys down, so ended up just flighting them as they came over it was difficult shooting today in the strong wind with birds vearing off at the last second just as i was pulling the trigger, the old fella suffered as well were he was shooting, put it this way i didn,t count the shells i fired at the end but all in all it was a good days shooting i picked 24 and lost 6 it was hard to mark birds that fell behind the hedge in the standing crop, the old fella had exactly the same as me 24 and lost 6, shear coinsidence total for the day shot 60 picked 48 Edited August 25, 2012 by yickdaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Good shooting. I hate loosing birds too, but it is going to happen in standing crop. Also I wouldn't worry about the cartridge ratio, I'm sure it was great sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Well done mate, as much as we aim to get the birds to decoy, those hard fast and furious days are also great fun. Very rewarding hitting those harder birds. Cos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
