Michael170874 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I shoot up around ripon ,and all the way accross to boroughbridge, i have 3 farms there but my best day as i mentioned was my local perm on outskirts of leeds morley it's one of the best farms for pigeons around there's two huge woods which attract thousands of woodies in winter and he grows a good variety of crops wheat ,barley,peas,beans,rape,so even in harvest time it's covered in birds last year i was going through 250 cartridges in 6 hours i couldn't cope with the amount of birds i was shooting luckily he has a farm shop and i was putting all the birds into his cold storage so they didn't go to waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Seven trips? Are you Yorkshire's weakest man? Only carrying 20 birds a time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docholiday Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Maybe he likes the exercise. This chap certainly has a chip on his shoulder, maybe its very heavy and thats why he had to make so many trips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Well done on shooting 137. That is a good bag on winter rape. Pictures of the surroundings and of your hide etc would be good. At least we would be able to see from those what sort of countryside you are shooting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshMike Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Good shooting . The thought of 137 pigeons in a day is merely a dream for some of us. Keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubby Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 If I had shot 137 pigeons I need 7 trips just to have enough cartridges. Well Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 If I had shot 137 pigeons I need 7 trips just to have enough cartridges. Well Done. Even with a modest hit rate of 60% that's 230 cartridges, almost £70 for my 20 bore. Congratulations to the OP. Great experience but every week would be a tad expensive for me.
