bunny_blaster Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 So after yesterday's lack of birds and Pigeon Controllers suggestion of taking up golf the pressure was on to make some sort of a bag today. Earlier in the week I'd noticed a small flock of pigeons lift off some winter rape, on closer inspection it would appear the local water fowl had grazed an area low next to an estate lake. I headed there today to find roughly 100 birds feeding. I set up with 15 shells and 2 landers and had a steady trickle of birds throughout the evening. At the moment I can't put my Hushpower .410 down so during the week I stocked up on my usual cartridges and also got a box of Eley subsonics to try. I missed some sitters over the decoys but also had some cracking longer shots getting on for 35-40 yards. I stopped shooting at 20.00 and picked 40 pigeon with a couple of hard hit birds that managed to evade being picked. So Mr PC it looks like the golf bats are staying where they are for now!

pigeon controller Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Well done Ben, I know you would rise to the challenge. That's an impressive bag with a single barrel you must have had a good number of times when you could have dropped a second bird. Again well done. I'd love to see the reaction when you walk into any of our local golf clubs and say" anybody seen my Bats" ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
