JDog Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I was determined not to let this weekend go by without a shot or two. Lady JDog is away so I spent the morning until 1pm vacuuming and washing the floor and doing the ironing. Modern man or what? Just after Lewis Hamilton was nobbled by his own team mate I set off and went precisely 4.1 miles before I found a few on wheat stubble. Any flight line was good after yesterday and one from the wood on the top of the hill a mile away looked promising so I set up on a promontory of large oak trees. The position was perfect until the sun shone, but as the sun shone 'constantly intermittently' I was fine for most of the time. My time in the hide was limited to less than two hours but amazingly not a single bird came back along the line I had identified. All of the birds coming into the field came from the opposite direction and they came back well and in one hour and forty five minutes of shooting I fired 75 shots of varying degrees of difficulty and picked fifty birds without the aid of Jasper who stayed at home.

fenboy Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I am afraid I cannot give you field hide expert status with that effort JDog . Sound like a enjoyable couple of hrs for you though, well done on a good ratio of birds for cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon controller Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Well done,the position of the hide is perfect with all the leaf foliage, this allows all manner of shots to be taken. I see people make hides under trees and it restricts the shooting to the point they are unable to shoot effectively. Great result for a short session , just be careful you do not contract house maids knee???

yickdaz Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 good session, I too make hides forward and either to the left or right hand side of trees for the very same reason pc mentioned so you can shoot at more birds and not be restricted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aga man Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 For some reason the second sentence of this post puts vivid images in my mind and make me smile As for the hide it looks very good to me and if you had 'constant intermittent' shooting for your limited time then i would say it was a success.
