JDog Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 This evening I heard from a semi reliable source that three Guns had shot 755 on laid barley today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilksy II Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 It wasn't the same bloke who heard about the 2 mile sniper shot was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 A bag of that size would easily be achievable, especially if the guns were in separate hides. It is only 250ish each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aga man Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'm not suprised either, they will be some very big bags killed over laid cereals at the minute. We don't hear the half of it on here. There is a very good bag to be made here JDog if/when you stop galavanting and get your backside home. The field is waiting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I suppose it is just hearsay, but it would hardly be a record, or even that remarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElvisThePelvis Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 My closest perm has two patches of laid barley but can't be shot as right next to road. Flightline shooting for two hours 'this evening on birds go to and from on one line and I shot 41 for 73 cartridges, I have never seen birds pouring in like that and if I could have set up near the wheat I can imagine 250 by myself would have been very possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Mate and i grabbed a couple of hours this eve .and sat on the edge of a barley field ive been watching for a couple of weeks . Well the wind was up and the heat down and the birds were pouring in as i was setting up the magnet . The first 2 birds in before id made it back to my chair both fell for a double and it didnt stop at all .ive never seen birds so suicidal. Some my mate missed flew back round to be killed by me . In the first 5 minutes id had 10 birds . We finished on 39 for less than 2 hours . It would have been more but my mate missed more than he should . I was on fire connecting with birds way out . Im buzzing as ive never seen pigeon that keen and decoy so well . Farmer was well pleased as he had seen flocks of 200 on that field earlier today .

Wilts#Dave Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 The block of laid barley I shot last Saturday (154) was still heaving with birds today and have been there all week (Dad's been looking daily)...we planned to hit it again tomorrow but two beaters from the estate were in situ today popping away, sadly! They weren't hitting much but getting plenty of sport when I stopped to look on the way home at 18:00. I think they'll continue to use the field, early laid barley always seems to draw big numbers and as Motty says if on seperate hides achievable.

They love some barley Dave, two years a go we shot a similar field one afternoon and took 138. We finished picking up at 6pm, the farmer went to spray the off at 7pm and said there was 2-300 birds there. We took over 400 birds off that field over a few sessions and still they came! birds go to and from on one line and I shot 41 for 73 cartridges, Sounds great that elvis. I would rather do that than shoot 100 hovering over a blow hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
