lakeside1000 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Since the end of the game season I have been getting some fair results on various rape fields around the area, Last Monday I managed a respectable 25 but did put in a long day for them, So Friday I decided to return to a nearby field that had been hit by some decent numbers recently, arrived around 11 am and set up, sky was blue, sun was warm and pigeons were absent without leave, some one must have told them I was coming as they had all done a disappearing act , by 4.00 pm I had had enough, 0 shots fired, 0 birds , just one box of cakes and a flask of coffee downed. It is my first 'blank' outing for some time, in fact I cannot remember the last time I didn't even have a shot at something. What is worse is the pigeons didn't show at all, not even on the horizon going somewhere else. It will be a while before I go out again unless I can locate where they are feeding, funny old game this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mightymariner Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I always think it is great to be out, and it mostly is if the weather is kind.....but I am not sure even I would wait five hours without a shot before packing up! True grit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guerini Guy Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I would have dozed off (comment from experience on slow days - I think its an age thing !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 You set-up on a field with no signs of pigeons, sat there for 5 hours without a shot, you got through a box of cakes and downed a flask of coffee, next time may I suggest you take something to read, possibly this….https://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/373008-books-for-sale/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilksy II Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I bet it was blue over at 5pm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
