Topgunners Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 After yesterday's malady with the collapsed Shooter; who by the way had an Embolism. Scans to follow and he's still in Hospital, I was out early mooching over all the farms that had combined the barley this week. I got a phone call from the farmer with the best shooting fields in the whole of the U.K., Last year we shot 756 pigeons on the Saturday and 258 on the Sunday. Well over 1,000 pigeons that weekend, And another 800 in the following 5 days. As soon as he said he had finished combining yesterday, I was over there like a shot. There weren't nowhere near as much as last year but enough to setup on. Later on in the afternoon I was joined by Tim Robins. He set up on another field from me but it was slow and I had just shot the 100; so I told him to setup about 30 yards along the hedgerow from me. We shot steady up until 6.00 o'clock and then THE DREADED BLOODY PLOUGH came into the field. AAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!! One bloody day that's all. I ended up shooting 118 pigeons 61 blackies and Tim had 55 pigeons and a magpie. Total shot 235 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilts#Dave Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Cracking bag, bet you were both chuffed....pigeon shooters worst nightmare the dreaded plough/discs. Bit of a bold claim to make about them being the best fields in the uk though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Good news that the chap has survived and is receiving treatment . With your results, I wouldn't argue that you have access to "the best shooting fields in the whole of the U.K.". The farmers are on the stubbles round here with the muck spreaders , discs and/or ploughs, as the combine leaves the fields. Nobody seems to be baling rape or barley straw this year, perhaps the wheat stubbles will hang around a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
