Dr D Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Didnt get out this morning till 11am. However I did have good idea where to go. I set up with 12 shells and after 5 mins added the whirly. It started to pick up at about 12 and in the extremely strong wind it took lots of patience. The birds that came from behind were so fast that it seemed as if they couldn't even be bothered turning to come back for a look. But my darts were pretty straight today and as it headed towards 2pm I knew the bag was building nicely. Imagine my disappointment at 2.30 when I packed up. Four short of a ton. If I had of been earlier or stayed on. But family duties called. Still it was a great 3 and half hours. The gun was hot. Not often that happens. 96 picked, but I reckon I killed over 100. Had to take the photo in garage because I needed to get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr D Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 That must have been some great sport. Cheers. Most fun I have had in years. Almost every shot was memorable. I am pretty sure these were migrants. Not on the typical lines. Another week or so and they will probably disappear off for some sangria.

Dr D Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) great bag and if you pick 96 then there has been over hundred shot, was it on rape ? Old stubbles. But it was more a case of flighting over the field rather than feeding on it. Edited November 28, 2015 by Dr D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangford wildfowler Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Excellent bag there dr d, down my way there is a huge amount of birds about, its great to see and the shootings second to none if you can get onto a flight line of birds, I had 25 yesterday for 83 shots not the best going but in that wind yesterday it was as you say memorable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
