NickB65 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Well I got out yesterday nice an early and as the pigeons had been hitting some of the wheat shoot I was asked to set-up on the back field. When I arrived I could see the damage but rom the signs it looked more like crows than pigeons. At 7am there was no wind so I set-up a general pattern which I change swing easily around if the wind came up. twelve FUD - five full bodies but the bouncers I left out as there was no wind and not much forecasted. Ten minutes in first shot and first victim - big fat crow. two hours later another crow and then a pigeon. At twelve I packed up. I saw five pigeons all day and thos I saw where high up and not interested. The crows where there but I only had one decoy so not easily to lure in. On the way back i bagged a squizzel that was shouting at me from the tree.... he was giving i large for some reason. Dropped like a stone on the first shot. five shots and four in the bag but I would rather of had 105 shots as then at least there would have been some sport. Checked the rape fields on the way back - nothing. not on my fields or those around us..... dont know where they where but there were not in my part of Cambridge.

Talking to some of the guys over Newmarket way there seem to be a lot on the paddocks so may be they are on the clover still....... .
