kippylawkid Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Pigeons thin on the ground in my bit of Northumberland at the minute - gorging on ivy and mostly leaving the rape alone. I'd spotted a few flighting to a hardwood strip in the middle of a big block of rape so decided to have a couple of hours this morning as it was forecast a decent wind. Just set up the rotary by itself and did pull a few. Picked up only 4 pigeons but also had over 1000 pinkfeet flight to a neighbouring field, 5 roe walk past me no more than 5 yards away, grey partridge calling in all the rape, countless small birds and numerous hares galloping around. Sometimes it doesn't really matter if you're pulling the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 No pigeons in your area? You are not looking hard enough. What about those rape fields I told you about near Belford? Your buddy can't have shot them all can he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckons it will be a few shots and they’ll move to next farm. He’s not hard core like us lads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
