paddypower999 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Hi All, Had a phone call from a farmer last week saying blackies are hitting the cattle feed hard could I come over a thin a few out, so phoned a few of the usual shooting buds drew a blank " mums budgie has just passed away!" feeble excuses!!! So thought I had better make an effort dropped the wife of at work on monday morning "someone has to pay for the cartridges" watched the birds for 30 mins or so and picked out a strong flight line along a hedge to the wood from the farm so a decision was made to set up the farm end of the hedge, I set the flapper and a few decoys up just got in the hide blow a few calls on the primos caller and holy **** they came! Managed to shoot 121 in 4 hours, that was my best bag ever. Last night popped back to the farm, hundreds still floating around so thought I would shoot it again today,pleased to say I smashed my record from Monday,206 shot today so 327 this week a very happy farmer and a happy shooter even if my right shoulder is 12" behind me.

The Ghost Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Great shooting Paddy, I drove past a pea field today that was almost black with crows laying all over them going daft feeding like vampires. I stopped and said to the farmer "Do you need them crows controlled" it's OK I have lads that cover my land....I drove on. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Very good, and for that amount of shots and the potential damage you have saved it would only be fair that you were reimbursed the cost of your cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
