shootgun Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Been out today after pigeons and decided to give it a go at recording some action My first attempt with my Christmas present, a Sony HDR AS 20,so please don't shot me down in flames Arrived a the farm on dark and set up as soon as i had enough light to see what i'm doing. The pigeons started to arrive shortly after, in big flocks, pairs and singles as well. A strong wind was blowing and i had great sport. Packed up with 34 pigeons and one crow, i could easily double the bag, but not having any movement in the pattern, absence of a dog and being distracted by the camera made things more difficult.... well that's my excuse anyway I hope you enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id4wZW3d22A&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 No one is going to shoot you down in flames for that excellent video. Thanks for posting. I would though have a much thicker net at least for the bottom three quarters of the hide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would though have a much thicker net at least for the bottom three quarters of the hide. You are right, but I found that if i'm still enough this net works well too. I like it as is very light and easy to carry. Can you recommend a good one perhaps? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see from the video but either tree to the left or right would have been my choice.... Good effort by any standards.. TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the only suitable spot to set up a hide, on the entire lenght of the field. Everywhere else is a 3 foot deep ditch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
