bunny_blaster Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Today was the first time back after the pigeons since the beginning of the game season last year. I had already done my reccy on Friday morning as I didn't have to start work until 12.30 so used the spare time to find where they were. After 60 odd miles I found a decent number on some rape and decided I would come back today to have a go. My original plan was to be out first thing but that never happened and I got to the fields at 12.50. When I arrived there were about 100 sat in the trees but they were playing follow the leader. Soon as one dropped onto the rape the rest would follow, a few at a time then lift off in one flock. I lugged my gear to my chosen spot and got set up for 13.30. The birds slowly started coming back in smaller groups between 3's and 10's and made for some good shooting in the strong wind. They stopped moving at 16.00 and I called it a day at 16.30 with 45 picked. It felt good to be back at them Cheers Ben Edited February 9, 2014 by bunny_blaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yickdaz Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 good bag similar today for us,but it was very strange not a bird on the field when we arrived at 2pm but 2.15 they were flighting in from all over the place managed an hour on them, more and more are starting to get back amongst them now after a very lean winter for most of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
