pigeon controller Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 I had a call today, Pigeons on the turnips, Help. So I drove out to the field expecting to see it covered? Not a bird, lots of doves flying round but no pigeon. The next field had been cut and it had a few corvids fliting around so I set up on that field with decoys behind me for the pigeon. I managed to call a Jackdaw and put it out in front of me and the corvids started to come and I managed a few with the Hushpower. I'd set up at 14.00 and shot till 15.30 when it was all over and picked up twentyseven corvids and no pigeon. I left the field and watched the turnips for another thirty minutes and it had a mixture of Woodies and Doves flying over it from all directions but none stopping. So Friday we may have to followsome of these birds and find them feeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 A good outcome of using the old, Corvid Fall Back solution, its something we all seem to be doing at the moment, with the absence of any pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to the farmer today and he did not know I was shooting, two fields away from his farm. From the blunt end of the gun it is very quiet with subs , when I shoot normal shells it's half as loud as normal it would appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
