bunny_blaster Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 As some will know I've been shooting a few pigeons with my Hushpower on the clover lately. Last weekend I was at the Three Counties Show so didn't get out shooting but every evening I've been keeping an eye on the clover. With all this rain we've had the amount of clover has been building and so have the pigeon numbers. I set up with 6 dead birds, 4 on craddles and 2 on the magnet. Straight away birds decoyed perfectly. After a couple of hours the sky went dark and when it rained the pigeons stopped flighting. I had an hour without a shot and almost packed up but knowing the majority of the birds have been feeding late in the evening I stayed. When the rain stopped the birds came straight back to the field, when it started they stopped again and it was like this for the rest of the evening. I packed up with 127 picked and a few lost in the barley behind me. One of the birds was a white woodie, the third one I have shot Cheers Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Your field craft is excellent. I presume that clover has been either grazed or cut for silage previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 A excellent bag , was these too shot with the 410 ? If so it's even more remarkable , clover is a crop I have never shot over as very little land is given to pasture in these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon controller Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Well done Ben, an excellent bag and presentation. I know you have been persevering with this crop and the Intel has paid its dividend in the end. What I need to do is put a tracker on your Disco ?? Again well done Edited June 27, 2016 by pigeon controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilts#Dave Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Great result on the clover, pity about the rain! We have a farm that always has a field for grazing sheep on and it draws large numbers of pigeons every year and produces several good bags each season.....not everyone thinks of looking on it for pigeons but they seem to love it.

bunny_blaster Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Your field craft is excellent. I presume that clover has been either grazed or cut for silage previously. The field is one of four that have been drilled with a grass/clover mix for grazing sheep. It's yet to be grazed so is quite tall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
