JDog Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 On Saturday Ginger Cat and I were frustrated to see a line of pigeons going wide of our hide positions. These birds followed a dip in a sixty acre field to a small group of trees where they sat up and digested whatever it was they had eaten. Today I thought I might try to beat them at their own game. Travelling only with gun, cartridges, net and two old Flexicoy decoys I walked to the trees and fashioned myself a hide. Even before I had finished erecting the net a group of 100 pigeons attempted to descend to the trees but I let them flare away without a shot. They did eventually come back in smaller groups giving me some excellent opportunities for an hour or so before I had to return home. Most crops were completely empty. Two had been on the maize cover crops. I shot and picked 14 which was good for an hour with little kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
