Richie10 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I know exactly what you mean. I have a number of permissions that border towns and the amount of times i've come up with the semi tame theory, they come direct from housing estates in 1s 2s straight into the decoys low across the field. However have other permissions very very remote and see 5x the numbers but they flock up this time of year and with the 10s of 0000's of acres of food out there they just move on. When the beans or peas go in however they cannot resist, or the milky laid barley, first field of cut rape! They always flock up this time of year and break up during the spring and summer.

Richie10 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Very much doubt i will get a red letter day.This is out in the countryside and nowhere near any large town to shoot the semi tame town pigeons some shoot.But it makes it more of a challenge and no matter what i get i enjoy it. I usually set up with a few park benches scattered around the crop, then leave some old people on them. That usually attracts the semi tame town ones, waiting for the pensioners to feed them.

I would retract that statement as some on here will imply that you are in favour of putting bait down for pigeons. But that is for another time.

Richie10 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 As long as they don't eat the pensioners I am within the law. Nothing for pigeons to feed on at the moment on my permissions. So still a waiting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That usually attracts the semi tame town ones, waiting for the pensioners to feed them. Speaking as one of those pensioners I can confirm that whenever I walk into a field all the pigeons and crows leave, I don't know if its the creaking bones, wheezing chest or the shotgun under my arm but something upsets them, roll on the afterlife, I've been told I will have 20 virgins to carry my gear for me, Yipeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootnfish Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Not knocking anyone with this post, but I have found that a couple of permissions I have bordering built up areas the pigeons do seem to decoy a bit easier in the winter on rape than permissions not near built up areas. Don't notice much difference in warmer months though but it is generally easier then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you'll get much of a response to this post. I have no idea why some people seem to have to throw the toys out of the pram when you disagree with them or question what they have posted. I can and will justify/back up every post I make on this site. Too many others either can't or won't. As I've said before, i'm all for an adult, reasoned debate, shame more folk can't be like that. By the way, I agree that this is a pretty friendly forum. I've took a few people shooting as a direct result of being a forum member and made friends, too. Long may that continue.

Don't notice much difference in warmer months though but it is generally easier then. Myself i think and this is just my opinion.That a good few more shooters know it as fact but some just cannot come to admit it.Because it would not do their ego any good as they want folks to think they are mustard at shooting pigeons. wrong ....... perhaps i should have put it better ie . the pigeon section i meant the forum in general is ok its just the same names allways make their point is heard above all others , debate all you want mr motty .i just wont waste my time replying to you Well i know what you mean even if others pretend not too.

matty* Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I dont get it. In the "pigeon" section 9 times out of 10 is a question or advice wanted. So people give an answer or advice. Yea it may be to the point or might even be what you dont want to hear but when a question or advice is wanted it will get answered. Yea looks like this is aimed at you motty but...... Atleast you say it how it is. Id rather be straight to the point. Anyway hope you have a good day on the maze pigeonblasterian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
