aga man Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 The peas that is!. I found a good 100+ feeding on the peas this evening for the first time this year. More birds were joining and it looks promising for a session. Having said that they appeared like this year only to vanish again a day or two later. Here's hoping.

JDog Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Those peas are very well on. If you get out in the next few days I hope that you have a really good session. They will all be town pigeons of course. Edited April 22, 2015 by JDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konnie Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I have on my perm several acres of peas, and they are not a problem this year I wonder with the perfect growing weather they are not as tender as when they grow a bit slower, As jdog pointed out they are well on and could out grow minor pigeon attention, maybe a bit of rain forecast at the weekend will change things.

I doubt this is the case. I expect the peas in general will get plenty of attention when all of the other options are exhausted. Give it a month and see what happens.

JDog Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Just shot a bag of 300 birds on chick weed and clover This is a thread started by aga man about seeing pigeons on peas. If you have been out and shot a decent bag on clover and chick weed or whatever then why not start a thread about it and tell the expectant PW members all about your day?

fenboy Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 It is a fantastic bag , and well worthy of a thread of its own , I for one cannot wait to see the pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaunda Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 A bag of 300 is surely worth recording in the ' Numbers of Woodpgeon Shot 2015 ' thread ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Well for those wondering i can tell you, i certainly didn't shoot 300 on that pea field. Infact i have yet to set up there!, for what ever reason the pigeons vacated the peas the following day and returned mostly to various areas of patchy rape, along with clover on sports pitches, horse paddocks etc. Just shot a bag of 300 birds on chick weed and clover Michael, i sincerley hope you did shoot a bag of that size but like others i am sceptical, Its not the first time we have heard of a superb bag from yourself with very little in the way of a good report/write up here on PW. Being from Yorkshire myself i am particularly interested in your success as my Gamedealer spoke only last week of very few real good bags taken in, even over the drilling period. Prove us all wrong and write up a decent report fella Edited May 7, 2015 by aga man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Like others, I am also sceptical of this claim. If I had shot that number there would be photos to prove it as none of my shooting friends would have believed me without such evidence. Also, my local game dealer and most other pigeon shooters in the area would very quickly become aware of such a feat. Let's see some evidence or just dismiss this as sheer fantasy.
