muncher Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Yesterday after a morning flight after some inland mallard ,and I had cooked the lads a hearty breakfast,( Motty has hollow legs) ,I decided to empty the freezer of some woodies, so off to the local game dealer to deal with them. On the way back we noticed a flight line of pigeons going of into the distance so we followed it to the field they were landing on . Next stop find the owner ,which we did and low and behold I got the go ahead ,good luck I have had bother all summer with them I have even got a 6 shot auto now ,but I cant get to do any good .Next call was to work and book a day off which was given .I went to the field at 10 am to find about 30 feeding so I set up on a stubble field with a disked in pea field behind me , the wind nearly in my face ,not ideal but that's were they were coming through and the only good place to set up , so put a rotary up a few shells and 4 dead birds i had with me just in front and too my left and out a bit so I hoped the birds would curl round in front of me to get into the decoys .The first ones came in as planed and I shot well but then it slowed down to a trickle and to add to the problems they were now skirting the decoys .My next move was to put another rotary up and this helped for a while but now the birds were too far out ,so I brought both rotary's in close .this improved things but it was still hard work. Now they wanted to come in from behind me .My next plan came into my head so I climbed over the dyke behind me and put some dead birds on the pea field and one angle ,now they liked it and a steady stream had started to come in. My shooting was a bit erratic at times and good at others, but a lot of the shots were at passers rather than decoyed pigeons . I finished on 135 on the clicker for 240 shots as a severe storm soaked me and all my kit. Sorry PC for the mess but I was soaked through.
