charlie 1 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hi everyone, went out last sunday for a bit of pigeon shooting and this is how it ended up. At bowt 7am i decided after an hours thought about, whether i should go or not, that i should go and enjoy the sun. lol I went to a field of rape that i thought had been shot quite alot this year but it turns out that it hadn't. so after watchin at least 1000 or so birds fly around for 10 mins i set up hoping i could get a couple as i had shot the field before and new the flightlines etc. after 15 mins of setting up i sat in my hide and waited for 2 mins before the first bird was in the bag. after that the action didn't stop and i've never seen pigeons respond so well to my decoys. (i only had 12 dead birds and the rotary) they didn't stop until i ran out of carts so i had to phone my dad to get him to bring some more up, which he kindly did after 50 mins. he decided to join me for the afternoon. we had a quiet patch for bowt half an hour then they started again. after an hour and a half we noticed that they where landing i the wood behind us. so we decided to sit in there for a bit. which we ended up shooting more than we expected. overall an amazing day that i will never forget and the best day i have ever had shooting pigeons. so at the end of the day the final bag was 138 pigeons, 1 rook, and 1 jackdaw. i shot 114 and my dad shot 26, as he was only with me for bowt 2 hours. here is the pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie 1 Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hi guys, Thanks for all the replys. kirky i didn't sell them i have kept some in freezer for decoys for next time and plucked all the other edible birds and gave them to family and stocked up our freezer as well, as They don't get much meat like that. but am trying to find a gamedealer as i can't keep plucking so many lollol. . so if anyone knows of a good one plz let me know. cherz the carts i used where Sipe 32g 5's. i find that i can shoot a lot better with them and since i started shooting with them i have had much better bags. thanks again guys Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
