nagantino Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I posted last week about setting up over a potato field with zero results. Today I set up over a field of stubble barley with better fun. I set up at 10 am. I used full body pigeon and flock shell with 2 or 3 full body crows. I walked back into the hide to see a buzzard and a crow had already settled into the pattern. I hit the crow when it flew off, but the buzzard was tossing over a shell decoy! Off it flew silent and majestic. The bag was 19 crows and 25 woodies. I used 99 cartridges for 44 birds which doesn't seem bad but it felt like I was missing all day, especially woodies. A new Mossberg 26 inch, cylinder choke might not have helped. Anyway, my best day in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I would say that that was a good result. As others have said to your previous post it is pointless setting up in a potato field at this time of year. You may get some shooting after the potatoes have been lifted though. When you said that........'the buzzard was tossing over a shell decoy....' what did you mean exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagantino Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Maybe "tossing" was the wrong word ......ahem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
