The Essex Hunter Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 A change to my local shooting found me in a rape field on the back of Southend Air Port… I went with Peter Theobald and his guest, half of the rape has been cut in this 60 acre field. There have been plenty of pigeons feeding on it from day one of cutting; the only way to shoot it was 2 field hides as there are local pigeons and 3 flight lines over it. I was 300 yards down wind of the other hide which cut me off until the lines picked up. During the day the birds would switch from one set up then the second giving all a good bit of shooting… I clicked 129 and picked 124 Peter and his guest 128 and picked 124 with 1 crow each..

yickdaz Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 excellent combined bag between you just shows splitting up can double the bag more often than not and good to see somebody else who isn't afraid to set up in the middle of a field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I wouldn't have had that hide so far out into the field if I were you! Only kidding............but I still say that it may not work here in the deep Cotswolds. Either that or I am just not brave enough. Very well done to the three of you. You too were brave to indicate that you shot more than PT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon controller Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Well done for a good result, I have found that desert camo works well on stubble fields and you can shoot from the centre of the field as it seems to cause "snow blindness" to the birds looking down from above but you will need a roof as the sun can be a problem .

motty Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Great bag, Tim. You'll have to ask Peter when he's going to invite me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Kelly Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Unimaginable! I drove two hours on Saturday to a field that had been blue with them. Plenty on there when I arrived, walked them off then nothing in the air for the next 4 hours. One daft lost suicidal pigeon flew into the pattern, but that was virtually the only bird I saw all morning. That is pigeon shooting as I experience it. 100+ days are hard to believe!
