Andrew86 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 After recently coming across an old friend of mine up in Aberdeen it turned out he was starting to offer some pigeon guiding along with his usual goose days etc. He called me the other day as one of the farmers had just harvested the barley and pigeons seemed to be flocking to the area. We got set up and started at about 7am and shot all the way through until 7.30pm. It was a long day but well worth it with birds coming in all day long in 2's and 3's with the occasional group of 15-20. They all decoyed in with only one bird flaring all day long from the pattern. Had a magnet, 4 bouncers and a range of flocked and full pigeon decoys. My previous best day had been 76 crows so i was hoping to beat that and join the 100 club. Managed 100 by lunchtime and the shooting kept getting better and better with no stopping or lull in the day. Ended up with 276 pigeons and 2 crows. Cracking day out and can't wait to do it again.

JDog Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Yes a fantastic day. Twelve hours in the hide followed by a day in bed I suspect. Given the location those birds may never have seen a rotary which may explain why they decoyed so well. Edited July 24, 2014 by JDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think technology has reached Aberdeenshire yet or are you inferring that us Scots are too tight to buy modern equipment?

Definition: An Aberdonian is just a Scot with the natural generosity beaten out of him I see from another thread that you are not devoid of humour. Good for you. However my point about location was nothing to do with the lack of technology in Aberdeenshire. I am sure that the new invention of the bicycle has reached even there by now, but the fact that shooting pressure up there will be less than it is in other more heavily populated and shot areas and in some parts pigeons may have never seen a rotary. That being the case it's novelty value may have been a real attractant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew86 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 The rotary certainly worked wonders as it was pulling in birds from all over. Don't think pigeons up here have been shot at as much as down south which helps. The birds coming in occasionally dropped right into the rotary and a few even landed on the bouncer poles. Heading out again tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
