Have seen a build up this last 8 days on the wheat and barley fields.pigeons going in the tram lines , a nice wind today so gave them a go.only place I could put decoys was a farm track separating 3 fields and a wide tram line.farmer had said don't walk about in the standing crop so had to pick my shots very carefully tried to drop birds on track and in the wide lines.had a flapper on the track that hadded movement this was OK and pulled birds in I shot ok and if I could have shot at birds flying over the standing barley good bag was to be had. But after 2 hours the battery died on me ,must charge it next time.with no movement birds were going in all over the three big fields. And onto the next farm as well ,so packed up with 21 picked and 3 lost in the crop.not a big bag but enjoyable.

Not a bad go and I'm glad to hear u picked up your quarry and was picky with your shots to make sure you done this far to many people shoot on standing crops and leave the birds to rot in this day and age this is totally wrong using the excuse of pest control, for many years on standing crops if I can't pick what I shoot I won't shoot instead I use rope bangers, gas guns, flags etc. the humble woodie is I feel our best sporting bird they deserve our respect. Well done you.
