kdubya Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Noticed a fair few pigeon dropping over a main road as I drove by and noticed they were going "close" to one of my farms, so asked my mate to take a look for me ( I was working) he phones me back saying lots of birds going into a wheat field at the next farm to mine, so the next day we decided to see if we could get them to come into us, now bear in mind that the birds were behind us and half a mile away at the closest but in a steady flightline it was going to be difficult, plus the crop we were in "closest to the flightline" was rape we had no chance of using anything than a couple of rotary's placed down a wide track, one very close to were we put the hide in fact not more than 5 yards out the other a further 20 yards on, result 66 birds birds down and had it not been for the fact we both had to get off early ( we were shooting against each other that evening in a clay league) we WOULD have easily topped 100 both rotary's had hypas on we had NO wind at all (again not in our favour) but although not pulling in every group that flew behind us it pulled enough to give us a very decent day, and NO we did not relace the hypa's with real birds as we never felt the need, god knows how many we would have got had we been able to decoy onto the field the birds actually wanted to be in? should be good sport in a couple of weeks as the landowner told us the rape will be cut aug 1st so if the numbers we saw are anything to go by good times ahead me thinks, also worthy of note was the amount of young birds dropped breeding has gone well for them this year it seems. oh and as for spinny things I "lent" jonno 357 my "spinny thing last year so far I aint asked for it back! cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
