Topgunners Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Saturday Myself and Alan went out yesterday to a farm that had cut 350 acres of wheat . Not a bird in sight.Gutted. !!!! Drove round numerous farms and didn't see a bird in the sky. Headed back to a field where we shot 1,600 birds in a week last year as it is always a good flight-line .There were a fair few birds on the stubble , so we set up about 1.00pm. The birds just kept coming and coming all day .Young "Lugs" joined us for an hour and shot 22. Packed up at 6.30pm Shot 151 Goes to get my Jeep and Flat battery. My mate had left the ignition key on and radio playing. Doh!!!!!! Jump start from Lugs Sunday Well, after a bit of a letdown on the wheat; where we had a 150 bag yesterday; we went mooching and the boys Lee and "Lugs"found some on the peas standing crop. They setup and had shot about 30 or so when I arrived to join them. The pigeons were flying past and decoying steady up until 1.00pm and then they just switched on. We were banging away at all manner of birds. Left to right crossers, brick droppers, moon walkers; you name it we had every manner of bird available. The banter in the hide was brilliant. **** taking, compliments, the works Then about an hour later the combine came into the field to cut the crop. Nooooooo!!!!!!! Young Lee Dixon had a word with the farmer and he very kindly agreed to cut the adjoining field first. Phew!!!!!! He started combining and the birds went crazy. We shot non stop for the next 2 1/2 hours and shot 160 in that time. Alan and Paul had shot 45 and all told we had shot 318 pigeons. nightmare picking all the shells and birds up, but got to be done. What a day and what a weekend. Over 469 birds. Big thanks to Lee Dixon for the opportunity. Oh. and before any keyboard warriors start. I know my camera is a day out. !!!!

Topgunners Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) Top darts there TG!! I think it's time you got a video camera, would love to watch one of your hot days on the pigeons. Cos I have many short videos of us but funny; that I only said yesterday to the lads, it was a shame we hadn't shot that hour and half on video. The only problem is - Who is going to do the filming? Just for you cosd. One of my old favourites. Edited September 14, 2015 by Topgunners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
