yickdaz Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) the day started off bright and windy and high hopes of making a bag, I chat regulary with a member on here who shoots the same farm as us were the rape is he had been watching them in the week and said birds are on 3 or 4 different fields so we planned to meet up and then split up on different fields to keep them moving after watching birds flighting in the wind onto the rape we got set up 10.45 am started off well birds decoyed straight in to static decoys and it looked good then it clouded over and started to rain it went on like this for 3 hrs and the birds came every 10 to 15 mins or so until 2pm then it started heaving it down sat it out for 30 mins to see if it would clear up it never did shot a few more in rain then that was it we had enough everything was soaked **** law the moment we got back to the car it stopped ended with a very soggy 27 pigeons and our mate had 26 so very similar to our day also a pic from last sat on the rape picked 30 Edited December 8, 2018 by yickdaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Nice to see you are still bagging a few Daz, barely touching the rape here as yet. Are you still shooting with steel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you believe we had a dry windy day , no rain until after we had finished the last drive , sorted the game out and on the way home at 3.30 and then we got a fine drizzle , although we have had some heavy showers tonight , Well done to yickdaz for sticking the rain out and ending up with a decent bag of pigeons , Well deserved .

You have been fortunate with the weather MM, It really has not stopped here, on finishing my second lager and lime in the comfort of my armchair I could have sworn I saw someone pass my front window in a canoe 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon controller Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Well done Daz at least you got out on the rape, not many yet on our rape. We had showers of rain all day but our location on the edge of the wood kept us dry. Again well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
