JDog Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Today I messed around with Doris' sister for a couple of hours. She is not as strong as Doris but she is more amenable. I started to set up at 11:45 and was wet through by 12:00. The rain then stopped. There were a lot of pigeons about but no matter how I arranged the pattern they did not really want to commit to the decoys and skirted the pattern at between 45 m and 60 m. This was not the day to fiddle about with chokes and I made the mistake last night of fitting 1/4 choke into my semi auto. I could have done with more constriction. Had a companion been available we could have trebled the bag as the pigeons were not only interested in the field I was in but another one three fields away and I saw countless birds head there after my shots. As it was I picked 25 which was good before heading back to the fire and the rugby. And the title? You will see from my photo that I anchored my hide to some concrete posts and plastic coated netting. The fencing surrounded a sewage farm and the smell of excreta was all around me during my session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilksy II Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 You've got dedication to sit in that stink! But you got 22 more than me and my host did today, there was plenty about but they wouldn't decoy either no matter what we changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aga man Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Great concealment of the hide there JDog and a very respectable bag, especially given the range of the birds. Well shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
