JDog Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Last Sunday whilst on 'other duties' my usual companion had a call from a Gamekeeper asking him if he could go and frighten pigeons on pea fields. Neither of us were really up for it as we had been building a release pen and were tired but we went and shot 57 pigeons. Yesterday I found a line into laid wheat. This was an adjacent field to the laid barley where we shot 210 a month ago. The line was obvious but a long walk. I was over ruled as to hide position and we set up on two Oak trees off the line but within seeing distance (for pigeons) on their preferred route. We had two and a half hours and shot 105 pigeons.

Wilts#Dave Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Cracking Jdog. You’re getting amongst them where you are….imagine how many you’d shoot if you went for more than a couple of hours! 105 is plenty if you had to carry them though.

I lose my concentration after a couple of hours and my shooting goes to pot. 10 hours ago, aga man said: Well shot J. Makes me smile to read your posts. Fond memories 👍 Yes we had good times together. I will never forget the return line over the dairy farm which must have had 2000 pigeons on it.
