JDog Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Driving home the last two days I have seen a flight line out of the main part of the estate, along two belts of trees and into some birdy mix. There were as many crows as pigeons. The wind was too good to miss so I went and set up with only a rotary and I hid behind a holly bush. In an hour I shot 8 pigeons, all of which I was very pleased with. When the line dried up I went elsewhere. The second venue had a lot of birds on, plenty joining and some at the edge of a wood. It was a long walk so I took only the rotary and two decoys. The hedge at the edge of the wood provided a perfect hide. Some pigeons came straight into the rotary and were relatively easy. Those flighting with the wind round the corner of the wood were not easy. They were slipping along the wind rising and falling and made for very testing shooting. None flew backwards. I picked 20 in the second field. This was a very good afternoon. Edited January 7, 2015 by JDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mightymariner Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Good day, I am heading out tomorrow, forecast very windy here and just seen pigeons on a rape field close to home. They've been there before but last time I went I didn't fire a shot! So much choice they just clear off but hoping the wind will keep a few on the move.

Mightymariner Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Sure we will help with the odd shot, can't guarantee numbers as Lincs farmers love spending cash on bird scaring devices which makes birds flighty this time of year. Should be better by March though as drilling will be underway and patchy rape will be easier to tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
