Michael170874 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Phone call from the farmer yesterday thousands of birds dropping into a laid barley field,arrived at 9.30 to see 3 flight lines going straight into the field so fired a shot up i couldn't believe the number of birds lifting up but all they did was swirl around like flies then straight back in plus the flight lines were stretching as far as i could see .i set up the decoys with a flapper no need for a hide as theres plenty of cover in the hedge within 2 hours id bagged 87 by 2.30 it was up at 195 then had to nipp home for more shells i finished at 7.30 pm with over 400 birds and they were still coming its costing me a fortune in shells as today i was back again from 7 am till 12 and shot another 209 birds and there doesnt seem to be any dent in those pigeons and the best is yet to come as all my barley wheat and rape hasnt been harvested yet due to wet weather so by the time mine gets cut all the local farms will have been stripped bare and ploughed in and im guessing from previous yrs its gonna be mad over august sept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
