Shooting from the barley tramlines

Farmer called me out as the pigeons were hitting his barley. Had a drive over the next day and not a large number and hitting several small flattened patches in the middle of the field. Nowhere to set a hide without making a mess and considered trying to shoot from a sitty tree but several trees in use round the field margins. Set off with half a dozen shell decoys and set them up in the biggest flat patch and knelt down in an adjacent tramline. Tried to keep low and still and wait till the last second to kneel upright and shoot. Most pigeons saw me as I got up and took evasive action so some challenging shots. Shot 16 with close to a 3:1 kill ratio. Not a big bag at all, but a lot of fun. Farmer saw me as I was leaving so he was happy I'd made the effort.
