Joe D Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I have not done a write up with pictures before but after reading and enjoying all the others i decided to have a go. I was out walking the dog and noticed that a farmer was killing of the grass and turning it and then covered it in manure. I got talking to him and he said he was just going to sew it with more grass seed but wont get around to getting the seed in for a few weeks yet. So i kept an eye on it over the next week and there were a good few crows and the odd pigeon that were feeding on it. No idea what they were feeding on probably all the flys and bugs on the manure. I decided to give it a bash on Saturday. I was going on my own so thought i would take my young dog with me to see how he gets on. He has never been shooting before just training up to now. I got to the field around 8.00am and about 2 dozen crows lifted off it and half a dozen pigeons. I got the hide set up and decoys out, i used 6 flocked crow shell decoys and 6 plastic pigeon shell decoys. I got myself into the hide and loaded the gun and literally within 20 seconds 3 crows straight in. I was delighted that i dropped 2. checked the dog was ok and he was and walked him out to the dead birds on the lead. I lifted the dead birds and walked him back on the lead. Another few came in and another 1 down. Took the dog out off the lead this time just walking to heel i tried to get him to pick the bird up but he just hasnt figured out what im asking him to do yet. I sat on for a few hours and birds decoyed pretty well. At the end I threw some birds and the dog retrieved them perfectly. So i must get out more often to get him into the way of retrieving shot birds as opposed to just me throwing them for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
