rich1985 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 We'll after a very quiet and non productive few months there are finally a good number of pigeons here in North Norfolk. Numbers been building up the last few weeks, where they have come from I don't know?? Some good flocks on peas in the area, no peas on my permissions but I think when the crops cut will be some good bags! Fingers crossed!

JDog Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Get permission to shoot the peas. The pigeons may disappear as quickly as they came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 My peas are now going the other way , there were lots of birds getting on them but numbers are now dwindling , they are deserting them for laid / standing barley from what I have seen . I disturbed about 300 in a patch no bigger than 20ft square today , shame its not on my land and even if it was the location is un shootable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich1985 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 More chance of flying to the moon than getting permission on the peas!!! The farm manager on that perticular farm won't let any one decoy pigeons, he says putting decoys out only attracts more pigeons etc etc, dead pigeons don't eat crops tho! They pay someone to drive round all day chasing them off. No shooting though! Ridiculous I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I have two very good looking situations lined up,where birds have been feeding for some time. I am shooting tomorrow and just have to pick the right place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I have tonight managed to get a one off permission to shoot a field of peas that have been getting hammered for weeks , but they have now mostly moved on by the looks of it . Typical ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich1985 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Been to check fox baits tonight, about 60 pigeons on one of my cover crops that's now coming through, think they are after the kale, mustard and linseed. Going to have ago with the air gun I think, probably Tuesday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
