yickdaz Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 as the title, after months of frustration and chipping away at the pigeons for bags of 8 10 12 etc on the rape the drillings were just as disappointing 16 was my best effort on them, god knows were the birds have gone to, I was starting to give up hope until summer, finally had a bit of luck today finding a trickle of birds heading over a busy A road into 4 oak trees that lined the hedge none feeding on the drill watched for 30 mins and they continued to flight over I knew it wasn't going to be a hectic shoot but some shooting was on offer so set up wind at my back in between two of the oaks , just decoys to start, shot one put that on a bouncer, shot another 2 set the rotary up and had a nice afternoon shooting from 3pm till 6pm I had 42 down and picked 38 just nice to actually shoot a few for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shot? Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Good on you, I know the feeling,Only seen a few pigeon in the last 3 months,one shot and they are away, they certainly have been a rarity. Saw a few dropping from the wood onto clover midweek will have a go with decoys tomorrow. Edited April 23, 2016 by Good shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Good to see you got a bit of sport. I know how frustrating it can be to have an itchy trigger finger and nothing to shoot. I drove round for the best part of 2 hours today looking for pigeons. The best I could find was a freshly drilled barley field with no pigeons on it.

maxwell Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 A good result well done, I looked for hours today without any success, the birds I could see were sat tight in the trees on buds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
