fenboy Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) NOT You may have seen my at last something looks promising thread . Yesterday I watched some spring rape and during the 20 mins or so I was there a good 400 + pigeon came to the field . So today with another PW member duly invited to what looked like could be a cracking day we arrived at around 7.30 am and set up in separate hides each one under where there was a good flight line into the field yesterday. We waited and waited some more , waited a little longer and very little happened , my first shot was at a carrion crow which came down and then decided to try and eat the dog when he went to pick it , so it got another shot for its trouble All the while we were struggling I kept thinking it will turn on later , I was wrong . Finally at 3pm with only six pigeon each I gave up and said we will go look around some of the pea fields , stuff quickly packed and in the van , started to drive off and heard a massive crunch and immediately knew I had driven over something I should not have done, a quick inspection and yep , it was my magnet Now all in I have to say it was not a great day , but me being the lucky guy I am had one more surprise in store , the magnet when I ran it over had put a 10p sized hole in my vans radiator Swiss Tony , I know how you feel mate , anyone want to buy a gun Edited June 25, 2013 by fenboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Poor you. Are you more upset about your magnet getting ruined or the fact that the pigeons did not play ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I am most definitely more annoyed with the pigeon !! , I am also rather annoyed that I need a new radiator in the van as its causing lots of problems getting to work the next couple of days or so.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Surely it can't get ANY worse! Thankfully it was only a cheap magnet! Edited June 25, 2013 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 All of the unhelpful replies will only be adding insult to injury. I hope that you find some to shoot soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I hope so , but it seems unlikely at the moment , the peas are still not being touched and harvest is not looking great as I have had several rape fields ploughed in so no stubble shooting I doubt !

Raptor1971 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 And I thought my day was bad having to drive to Manchester then to Bala then back to Manchester , I think we have all had bad days out when it looked so promising the day before but then nothing appears it happened to me last Friday after inviting a PW member out on some permission, but a bad day in the field sure beats a good day in the office, apart from the mishap with the magnet.

The Ghost Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Cheers , you wasted no time getting that sorted , the rad is ordered will let you know when it turns up , thanks again. Just my luck Fenboy, I had hoped you would pack in after that day from hell. The wife had agreed to take Milo, made room in my cabinet for your guns and just given three of your permissions away. My day just goes from bad to worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say generally, that's too late to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
