JDog Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 The thought of carting my kit and setting up was too much for me today. Not that I am naturally lazy but just sometimes enough is enough. Instead I decided to stand in a spinney which has been buzzed of late by decent numbers of pigeons. A leisurely lunch in the garden with my wife and off I went, driving all of four miles to my destination. Fifty pigeons clattered out at my arrival and at my first shot a very decent lot erupted from a larger wood nearby. The sky was blue and the sun shone on arriving pigeons. That can be off-putting. In less than two hours the fifty cartridges that I added to the ten already in my bag were all used up. I wouldn’t have shot for any longer anyway. I had Jasper with me today and between us we picked thirty one pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Two hours and 31 pigeons is my sort of day, flighting pigeons give me more pleasure now than decoyed birds, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Some very good shooting to get 1 for 2 cartridges without decoys in the short time you were there Mr JDog , you will find as you get older spending all day in a hide is not so tempting as it once even if you have the time to do it , what more would you want than firing over two boxes of shells for 30 odd birds at good sporting birds in a short(ish) afternoon ?

Wilts#Dave Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Very envious of this Jdog, without doubt that would be my favourite way to spend a couple of hours pigeon shooting.....beats carting kit across a drill and shooting 100 in the same amount of time then having to cart them all back to the truck! Been a rather lean winter/spring here, itching to get back amongst them properly. Glad to see you’re getting some good sport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead eye alan Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Super way to spend a couple of hours, 1 for 2 flighting is an excellent result well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
