motty Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I am now back into full pigeon shooting mode, as another wildfowling season has come to a close. I have been having a bit of a dabble at the pigeons in the last few weeks, but my biggest bag has been just 18, flighting in a wood (spectacular sport though it was). I have been keenly keeping my eye out for pigeon activity, and I have been surprised at just how many of them there are at the moment. It seems everywhere I go I am seeing flocks numbering several hundred. I drove past the most distant farm I shoot, just after 3.30pm today. I saw at least a couple of thousand go to roost along a two mile stretch of road. Also, some of the rape fields that seemed previously devoid of birds have now got a few hundred on. We all know, though, that seeing them and shooting them are completely different matters. However, I am confident that this will be a good year around my area of Norfolk for pigeon shooting.

JDog Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Oh good. I am sure that a man with your abilities will soon be reporting some decent bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 There has been some very big bags posted elsewhere on the internet from up and down the country and also similar reports of big numbers. Perhaps these are normal as I have only just gone over to the dark side of the internet, impressive all the same. Numbers are looking about average here, but any birds I am dressing for the table are in tip top condition, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
