stuy Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I agree but you will have to move to continue shooting. I've stated my opinion on this in the passed. The first birds into roost have fed well but digest overnight and are first out in the morning returning to the good food source. The others in the roost follow so you get them appear at that field , you shoot and spook the rest to make them find another field. They can go a number of days with out feeding hard but when they do is the time to shoot them. All you have to find is the feeding field and that's the hard bit . Good luck. good avice indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anser2 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) For the second year running most of the pigeons are just not interested in rape on my ground , few birds and no regulay flocks feeding on rape , just the odd small group of half a dozen or so on the fields. Did manage 14 of a maze strip today and should have been more , but I found out after the shoot that the farmers son had decoyed the same maze strip 2 days ago ( he shot 1 ). The birds would decoy and just when you were sure you were going to get a shot they would swing away with the slightest movement and they would swing away on the strong wind at about 40 yards, they were out of range in a flash. A few of the higher birds that I cleanly killed were taken on the wind to crash over 100 yards out on the field in a cloud of feathers. I never had a easy shot but 16 for 35 shots was not very good.
