JDog Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 A ten minute view on Thursday afternoon confirmed plenty of birds feeding on a bean stubble which had not been shot before, the majority of which were arriving on a flight line at least 2km long. Slightly earlier on Friday I viewed the same field and flight line and the same number of birds were there and arriving along the same line. On Saturday I went to shoot the field which was quite well populated with pigeons even at lunch time (they had been feeding from two until six). I watched for twenty minutes and yes there were lots of birds using the same lines and I set up accordingly. From the moment I was ready not a single bird used that line all afternoon. The flow simply evaporated. Thankfully another line developed from a completely different direction and I had a very nice afternoon for 49 pigeons and 2 carrion crows. This is not the first time this has happened of late and I have no explanation for it. My day was topped off by seeing the new arrival of two flocks of golden plover which always winter on the same fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon controller Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Well done, you can never predict pigeon shooting but you must be adaptable , which you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
