Topgunners Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 continued from yesterday. Hi all We all left early this morning and drove to yesterday's shoot to see what was on there and NOT A BIRD in sight. (Must of shot them all) Tried another farm on some drilling we had seen yesterday and a couple of huge flocks of rooks & Jackies took flight off the field. We set up two hides 50yards apart and 2 sets of deeks and within minutes the blackies had returned and yet again some lovely long & high birds were dropping out of the sky. I was "calling" like a madman to the extent that I have " blown my crow call whistle to bits". Alan didn't join us at first as he had to nip off to see a farmer and pick up a few ton of corn to scatter on the ponds & rivers in ready for the fat ducks etc; possibly, for us to shoot in the next week or two. Again I had to disappear for an hour or two to have a Sunday Carvery with the family for my Daughter's 21st Birthday. :yp: :( :blink: :blink: :happybday: :happybday: But once that was finished I got changed back into my camo and shot back to the "patch" to meet up for a likely wildfowl take-off from the lakes. Alan informed me that the total picked up was 82 x Blackies and 20 pigeons. Nice 100 bird bag again. We walked to the lakes and waited till it just got dark and BINGO; we got the FULL-HOUSE of quarry. 7 x Canada's downed in one volley of shots. Many thanks to the "Shepherd" (Alan) , for walking the banks and flushing them straight to us. Great weekend had by all, and some piccies to follow later ; be it from a mobile phone . God help the quality. Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
