JDog Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Four days on from my Covid jab and I am still suffering from side effects and I am not bouncing around as usual. However there are pressing matters to deal with so the illness is sidelined. The field opposite my house has had pigeons on it for weeks and I have been waiting for the right wind to shoot it. It took no more than five minutes to walk with my kit to the chosen spot and I was soon set up with the rotary but no other decoys. ‘You must be mad’ again echoed in my ears as I left the house so I promised that I would be back in an hour for some TLC. The main line headed for the long wood in the picture. Those pigeons that came off it for a look decoyed as if on wires straight to the rotary. The first shots were relatively easy, the second shots in the near 40mph winds were not. I was in the hide for an hour and a quarter and shot and picked twenty four pigeons.

dead eye alan Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Well done JD, I notice that you had a different seat and not the drummers seat has it broken? We all need our heads testing at this time of year, but TLC will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
