Cambsman Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I was out near Dry Drayton and surroundings. Saw some big flocks moving but hard going. You have much luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy518 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Couple of us are out tomorrow . Will start looking around Gt Shelford, onto Trumpington then probably Barton then onto Lolworth. Will cover a fair few miles and farms but hopefully will find the pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always check out the field when driving around and I have not seen many Pigeons on the fields around Oakignton for a while. I normally shoot around Burwell and they have some mega flocks - had the kids this weekend so hope they will still be around next weekend.

Cambsman Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Farm worker was also out letting off rockets. I had a chat with him and he had been scaring off birds all week. He gave me the old " you should have been here two days ago" speech! Are you guys shooting the PX land? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambsman Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 PX Farms. Sort of a syndicate deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy518 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 We found some huge flocks today at Lolworth and Gt Shelford. They weren't interested in the rape or decoys at all. They spent all day on Wheat fields. Impossible to get at them We don't shoot PX farms. Refuse to pay to shoot pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
