yickdaz Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 after a quiet few months some pigeons are turning up out of the woodwork,so me and the old fella had a couple of hours on the pigs this afternoon it only stopped raining at 1.30pm so soon as it did we went to the farm and to the fields edge and could see birds dropping in all over it we picked the best spot and trudged across the field in wellingtons and leggings a lot of the field has been layed and its very thick and matted so that was hard work with all the gear got set up for 2.30pm we couldn't get them to decoy at first until we got the rotary set up had to move that a few times and tincker with the decoys they were very wary all afternoon for some reason we haven,t shot at them on there all year so they shouldn't of been so wary, we had birds passing wide of us all the time some ploughed into the decoys a lot wouldn,t it was very frustrating the bag would been double no doubt about it we picked our shots and tried to drop them in layed patches but its not always possible to do that, also the crop is so dense even birds dropped close in were awkward to find so it was shoot one mark it and pick it missed plenty chances of birds coming in doing this but we like picking as many as possible couldn,t use the dog today it has a bad eye and barley wouldn,t help it much, we picked 36 and lost 10 in the crop hopefully this is the start of our summer shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
