fenboy Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I decide I was going to have another look at some of the pea stubbles this afternoon . I was at work last night so the plan was to get up around 10.30 and head off to have a look which field offered the best chance . That plan went out the window when I was woken by the phone ringing at 12.30 ! I could only shoot till 5pm today so I rushed around loaded the car and dog up and was heading out by 1pm . The first two fields I checked had nothing on them the third just a handful , fortunately the next one I looked at had a few birds down and one or two joining them . I got set up with fifteen decoys and two magnets and was shooting by 2.30pm. I did not have to wait too long for one or two to start visiting the pattern and I had some steady shooting for two hours mostly pigeons but a few crows put in a appearance and I was pleased to shoot a nice triple on them . I started packing up at 4.45pm and picked 44 pigeons and 7 crows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Drake looks like he is coming on well. Still plenty of work to do with Drake Paul , he is nice and steady but needs more work on following directions from me rather than going into headless chicken mode when sent for a blind.

marsh man Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 A good afternoon sport you had there fenboy and your young dog looks as if he is enjoying it just as much as you , maybe more so. The peas I went on for a couple of hours today are still at least 3 to 4 weeks away from being cut and for how few were about today on the peas I cant see the stubble producing any amount as by then the first fields of barley will be cut and they will be on the grain stubbles , when I went back to the farm today the combine driver recon they might make a start next weekend , weather permitting .

I have given up on the videos for now mate , they way I have been shooting I thought it would be one less thing to concentrate on ! Your peas may come good when they are cut , there has been nothing on mine until they were vined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
