Dr D Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) I've provided a few updates on my afternoon exploits over the last few weeks in talk from the field. So here are few pics. More important. Today I struck gold. Right field. Right time. And, bang under the flightline in. It was a similar story to the other afternoons. Seen a few birds down feeding on a field, but generally all was quiet. However, this spot I know really well. I know how to shoot it in every possible condition. So, I set up where I thought a flight might develop at 3pm. A few birds started to move and at 4.30 bang. A line as tight as a ***** right over my hide. And to add to the pleasure they decoyed as if I had a remote control. Now, big bags of pigeons at anytime of year in this part of the world is a rarity indeed. And, even more so at this time of year. But, what about this for single gun outing! 167 picked up! I finished at 7. Edited August 24, 2017 by Dr D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon controller Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Excellent report, well done. Getting under the flight line is the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted August 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Very good indeed. Are the big bags mostly shot in the southern part of your island? Yes motty. Usually east coast around the greater Dublin area. I have birds, but a bag of 50 is what I would normally class as a good afternoon Great shooting, is that the flight line beyond in the photo? Looks to be a bird in the distance? Yes. Well spotted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
