Masher Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Went out this Sunday on one of my local farms down here in Devon on some rape that the pigeons have been building up in numbers steadily for the last couple of weeks, I was all set up and sat comfortable in my hide with a whirly,flapper and 15 dead bird statics set out by 8am, the birds started to come straight away and decoyed like there life depended on it in good numbers of threes fours and fives mostly. By 8.55 the clicker showed 50, 10am I was up to 85 then thing slowed up some what but still gave me Lots of cracking shooting up to 1pm when I called it a day, I finished up with 140 pigeons and 2 rooks for 189 shots so all in all a very very satisfying day out.

Cranfield Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 That was a fine result and lets hope that field gives you a few more days like that before the crop gets too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShropshireSam Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 A cracking day and not many missed. Did you have high winds?? We had 20 mph winds and 35 mph gusts which would make your kill ratio all the more impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masher Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 The forecast was for 15-18 mph s/w winds which ended up being westerly and more like 10mph, like I said they did decoy very nicely for me on the day so hence that's got to have helped my kill ratio, when I picked up at the end of my session I would say in my "kill zone" hole that almost 50% of what I shot were dropped in this area. It was just one of those great days where everything just went perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kippylawkid Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Brilliant effort that. Any 100+ bag on rape is one to savour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
