blade Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Went for a ride round yesterday booked half day off .Not much showing on the rape but came across a field that had broadcast wheat done a couple of days ago.Was a few showing an interest and a definate flight line so i thought il have a bash. Only one problem there is a primary school backs on to the field in the far corner about 250yds from were i wanted to set up not in direct line of fire.So gave farmer a ring got the go ahead then went to the school just to let them know what i was doing.They was fine with it so set up and had pigeons from the off all was going well then it happened.Hit a pigeon head shot one of those that fly straight up then crash to the ground.Well this on spiraled really high heading for the school i was panic stricken didnt now were it would land and the kids were on play time.Then its wings folded and swooped down straight in the middle of the play ground stone dead.I was hoping no one had seen it but then 10 mins later got a text from farmer it read peter dead pigeon just landed in play ground best avoid shooting between 12 and 13.15 when there on break.So sent my apologies to farmer then googled the school number and rang them.The receptionist very helpfull and even laughed about the whole incident saying the kids thought it was rainning pigeons.I know it could have been worse but luckily no one was hurt or distressed.Think probably we have all had one of those pigeons that you know is going to drop but not sure were.Well ended the day with 75 pigeons 3 crows and 2 jackdaws would of had more but stopped for 40 mins whils the mums picked kids up .

turbo33 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Great result, cracking bag Blade I can just imagine your horror with that pigeon. You can bet if there's one place you don't want a bird to fall within 300yds, that will be the place it chooses, why is that And well done on the diplomatic communications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 You were lucky that the school was a country school and had sensible people in it. Imagine if it had been an urban school. You dealt with it very well and full marks to the farmer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
