A hare and a few pigeons.

Pigeon shooters at this time of year can be disappointed when they turn up at a likely field only to find it cultivated or ploughed. Today Jacko and I were in luck and one of the very few wheat stubbles in the area was intact.

There were two fields with pigeons on. One could not possibly have been shot as the wind was a strong 40 mph and would have been in our faces in the only position for a hide. This field had a very active line into it but we had to turn our attentions elsewhere. The other field was a very poor second choice but there were two hide positions offering shelter from the wind and the sun. I knew from the outset that we would get only a very small percentage of the pigeons going up the line into our decoys and so it proved.

In three hours we managed to inveigle a few off the line into shooting range and we did well to pick 43 pigeons whilst watching hundreds go up to the other field.

The bag is only this Good due to some of the best shooting I have ever witnessed some of the birds  my shooting buddy hit where stratospheric and travelling on the wind At a great rate of knots if you hit one of these birds you would be overly happy but when your mate hits  quite a few  you know you are in the presence of  a great pigeon shooter ... me on the other hand did not shoot good could not get my rhythm or range
