Jacko3275 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Well thanks to COVID I have a furloughed week off of work so thought I might as well spend it at the caravan which puts me within a short drive of Jdog in the Lincolnshire wolds ... as I was driving here on Friday ( I had to come the back due to the motorway being shut ) I noticed some stubble field on one of Jdog’s perms so I pulled over for ten mins to watch a good flightline on to a rape stubble so rang Jdog to let him know he went to watch it Saturday and found a better field and line on barley stubble so it was arranged to shoot Sunday as there was heavy rain and storms forecast for Saturday... I met up with jdog at one on Sunday we went to the said barely field and there was hundreds of bird about pigeons and crows but the corner where we would set up had a lovely flight line we set up Strong wind to our backs We had a magnet A flapper about 50 decoys out the birds started to come in but not as expected jdog duly took these out and I was not up to speed with them we decided on a shuffle of the arrangement and this may draw them a little more as we want them nope they would do there own thing and not conform I hit my first long one and then we decided another shuffle was needed and a few more taken whilst all this was going on Jdog noticed a lot of movement on a rape stubble so I packed up and set of to set up on it as I got there I lifted about An hundred birdS and only one came back as I was down wind from Jdog I could hear what sound like a machine gun going off there was that many shots so I packed up and went back he had shot 24 in 40 mins of me not being there I set up again😓 and we had a few good shots again And some bad misses on my part we packed up with 30 of picked and a good days banter.... As I am over here for a week Jdog told me he was going to sort it for me to shoot one of his permissions on my own(he is a good bloke) we had previously shot these fields so I knew the lay out So Monday I got there and watch the field for an hour to see what was going off there was not much about compared to previous outings (standing wheat fields) I say a little interest in a ditty so decided I would set up under that as the is some bare patches in front of it I put a magnet and a flapper out and would see how it went I had not even finished setting up when noticed the first pigeon flying in my direction I got the gun from the car and loaded it an shot the pigeon from behind the car for the first hour they decoyed beautifully But then the interest in the Pattern slowed as they seemed to be going to a field not far away that is probably a little behind the wheat I was on anyway as the weather was taking a turn for the worse I packed up with 15 down 9 picked and another good few days thanks to Jdog who am also meeting tomorrow to reccy some fields to hopefully shoot Wednesday......sorry if it is a bit long winded but am glad to be back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
