kitchrat Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I don't disagree with you for the sake of it. Say something sensible and I may well agree. By the way, i'm finding it difficult to make decent bags whilst decoying at the moment. I have shot on rape recently, and the pigeons didn't behave how I wished. I as I have said before, it's not easy at the moment (generally). I have had more success on flight lines or roosting. I'm expecting things to pick up in the next month or so, as usual.

I'm expecting things to pick up in the next month or so, as usual. I'll try to be sensible!! I guess I'm a "glass-half-empty" man! For example, we are all hoping to get some good bags over smashed-up game covers. I've checked all mine and there are no maize cobs left, the crows have cleaned them all. So I don't expect much and the last few years have been the same -no interest from pigeons once the feeders in the cover crops are not refilled. However, I'm sure some farms have had better crops of maize that have not been destroyed yet (as per the Shootingshow videos), good luck to the lucky ones who can shoot over them - fill your boots and shoot a few for me. I also should explain that I only get to shoot over winter rape as I am out of the country for the rest of the year - maybe that explains why I struggle??

JDog Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 In the last sentence you revealed more than in quite a few of your posts put together. Winter rape shooting is not easy and if that is all you have, as you are out of the country for the rest of the year, then you will struggle. Have a look through posts in the last two months and you will find less than a handful of three figure bags. Your area will be just the same as most others in terms of pigeon behaviour and numbers. Only PC who has the magic touch and can generally rely on birds from Birmingham can be relied upon to shoot big bags on winter rape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
