skye Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I shoot between a couple of farms, trying to visit as often as work (and the wife) will allow. Sunday I shot 28 pigeons in a little over 2 hours,on fresh drilling, great conditions for decoying.Tuesday I thought I'll have another go, similar sort of day maybe a stronger breeze and a little more over cast....but the pigeons wouldn't come into the pattern, they were about in numbers, but flaring off before they were in range.Was it too soon to return to the same spot? If so how long would you leave it before returning ? Skye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael170874 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hi mate i have shot the same field 4 days in a row if they are hungry they will come in .one of my rape fields last year i shot sat,sunday,tues,thurs,sat,sun and inbetween those days i walked my dog and the birds where still landing in the same patch so it doesnt realy matter.i just change my patterns around flappers .etc did you use a rotary machine if so they can spook the birds i got rid of mine due to them veering away alot then chose to stick with my turbo flapper which works perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 No need to wait. As said, if the food is there and the birds are hungry and they find it, they'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yickdaz Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 only once shot the same field 2 days running first day I just flighted them from the corner of a wood for 68 then went back next day and decoyed them 100 yards from the wood and shot over 100, but that's the one and only time I have done it usually its a waste of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESSEX ROB Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hi Mate I don't get out much with work and all that, but when I can and if the birds are there I will shoot it on consecutive days. Last year I shot a field 4 days in a row for 56, 58 ,66 and 69. Last week I shot the same field within 5 days for 29 and 40. It doesn't always work work it's worth a try.

skye Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Thanks for your comments...I wasn't using a rotary, just flocked shells. Having more free time Tuesday I was expecting better action, rain stopped me today, fingers crossed for tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
