steveyg Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Had an unexpected call this morning from PW member Pickerup,asking if I fancied a few hours on a recently drilled pea field. Checked with the wife..got a pass out until 2.30pm..result This perm is only 10 mins from where I live so we were set up for 10.30,not huge numbers about however enough to keep our attention. We were both shooting well and putting the pressure on each other as we shooting alternatively...at one stage I was 6 from nine shots...and he was giving me a bollxxing for missing too many with my first shot we had some good banter and due to his huge umbrella didn't get wet. The pigeons were decoying beautifully, Pickerup identified why...the majority of the birds were young ones. Its been a long while since I have seen pigeons decoy this well..fantastic site. I Finished with 13 from 29 and he is still there...just got a call..he just got his first double of the day..nice one It was an unexpected few hours but really enjoyed watching the pigeons decoy so well. great banter and quality few hours...just opened the wine before we have Sunday Lunch.... Its not a bad life.. Cheers Pickerup..hope you get a few more doubles before you pack up.. :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
