steveyg Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Got a call at around midday..fancy trying to find a few pigeons... i must of opened a dozen farm gates today, we struggled to find any decent flight lines or pigeons ? We found a field of wheat stubble which was being hit hard however no permission to shoot. We traveled around 80 miles with no joy, the rain came down big time so decided to go for a beer. That's pigeon shooting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seem like a lot of miles but they soon add up when you start criss crossing from one place to another , I never go more than 10 / 15 miles from my house and yet some days I have done 40+ miles by looking at different places and ending up at the first place I looked at . One of my pet hates is pigeon shooting in the rain , mind you , when I see dark clouds coming my way I convince myself it isn't going to rain then two hours later I am drying all my gear out and me included ☺️ But as you say steveyg , that's pigeon shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getthegat Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I was out on Friday. Got caught in a thunderstorm, lucky I had my camo tarp. Came away with 20 birds though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
