JDog Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Today I covered sixty miles looking for pigeons in the Lincolnshire Wolds. I should have been shooting pigeons somewhere in the Cotswolds but Lloydi said he would rather be sorting out his sock drawer than standing in a cold field shooting nothing. Others turned down my invitations too so I headed home a day earlier than envisaged much to Lady JDog's surprise and I hope delight. At least I couldn't see any trace of another man in the house. There were lots of wind blown large groups all over the place. They would have been undecoyable I am quite sure but I must have seen a thousand or more on my travels including a lot where V8 90 had said he had seen some last week. I never set up anywhere so I went home. The pull of roost shooting was just too strong even though I had a roaring fire and warm company and out I headed at 2:30. I was in the wood at 2:40! Many will know that my shooting is not up to much but this afternoon I excelled at very difficult birds on a strong wind flying high over a wood made up of very mature hardwoods, some of which had not lost their leaves. For twenty one shots I had ten birds as dead as Dodos. Considering that I had done well I left the wood long before the flight had finished and I watched the rest of the incomers from a distance when I got back to my car.

pigeon controller Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Nice report JDog, you enjoyed your roost shooting . The wind will cause them to hit the valleys so you can decoy them in the wind. You had a solo effort and enjoyed it , result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
