JDog Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 This morning I woke feeling particularly groggy with a sore left arm where the Covid-19 booster jab was inserted yesterday. I could have felt sorry for myself (in reality I did) but after dropping my brother off at the train station I went out looking for pigeons, or rather a flight line of pigeons as I didn't feel up to carrying lots of kit. Over last weekend despite the rain quite a lot of drilling had been done and that is what the pigeons I saw were feeding on. One farm near home had drilled and the pigeons were feeding on it and flicking over the road and down to a small spinney in the valley bottom to digest the protein. I headed for that spinney with a net and hide poles. A single bird came first and was shot which resulted in a great number heading from the fields towards my spinney. The wind at this stage was 25 mph at least. The shooting was pretty frantic for two hours and I shot until my cartridge bag was empty. The pick-up was twenty seven pigeons.

JTaylor91 Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Good stuff. At least you remembered the poles this time. We are in the middle of a house move and the mother in law has just had a hip replaced so I’m on a short leash for sneaking off shooting at the minute.
