muncher Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 While at work as i was driving i saw a flock of woodies get of a drilled field ,and thought thats close to a field i can shoot ,so on the way back from the small errand i called into the farm and had a quick look . The field the pigeons I thought were after was just over from the fields I could shoot but on closer scrutiny they seem to be on the land I had permission which had been direct drilled on heavy land . So gave me old mucker Motty a call to see if he was free, and after a phone call he got the day off .We set up with a rotary and ten birds PC style and awaited our first customer not to long and Motty had one down and he was shooting well with his new Bettinsoli,. Loads of birds went through to another field up very high but every now and then one would peal of put its wings back and drop from a great height straight in to the decoys . My shooting was a bit erratic and to cap it off my Berreta decided to pack up, I'm hoping its just some debris in the workings ,luckily Motty had is extrema one with him and I carried on with that .We finished with 90 on the clicker for what was very enjoyable day.

motty Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yep, thoroughly enjoyable outing. You forgot to mention that we were only using steel shells. 32gm of 4 really does the business on the pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocknee Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 So why did you need a clicker surely on drilling all shot birds could have been picked and counted or do you count the ones you think you hit also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncher Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 No only downed birds so when we pack up we make sure all are picked and it saves counting dead birds on the floor, that's I you like to know how many you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I shot 100 this morning , unfortunately they were all made of clay , hopefully the peas will soon be up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Well done gents. J. did you find that heavy sxs that you were looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I find the clicker very handy. Some birds dropped on the next field across and also some in the dykes. I find it hard to keep up if I don't click them. So why did you need a clicker surely on drilling all shot birds could have been picked and counted or do you count the ones you think you hit also.

I find it hard to keep up if I don't click them. Fair enough but I have come across people who claim to have shot fantastic bags of 200+ on the clicker yet only picked up a few. I can see they are a useful tool to know how many you have to pick up but myself and all I shoot with only count the number actually picked up as the final bag.

pigeon controller Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Well done both of you, a welcome report from the east, does this mean that you will no longer be letting birds south west to JDog and myself?? Nice to hear that your getting out and started the tally for 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncher Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 We have been out for a while but with limited success,I am not very good at winter rape shooting or I just push them up to you pc . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I followed up that 90, with a bag of 95 pigeons on drilled barley yesterday. I should have made 100, but my shooting was a little off. Things are looking good for the foreseeable future, with a lot of pigeons around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
