yickdaz Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Went back yesterday to the same area and farm I shot 141 on sat just a different disced in field with grass and weed growing in it the birds had diverted 500 yards from the stubble to this one only answer to that is they were shot off the stubble the day before ,must of been after the weed and what little grain they could find on it multiple lines coming in but they where landing all over the field a fairly big open one with little cover to set up at so the best option to set up would be an old veg sorting trailer sat on the track that spilts the field it hasn't moved from there for many years despite it being a permanent fixture they were wary of committing to the decoys a lot skirted round the decoys at 60 yards or flared at the last second they have been shot heavily in this area by us in the last few months on a weekly basis so I put it down to that fact still 86 came close enough to shoot so that's thats what we ended up with lost around 10 birds that flew on and dropped over the boundary or to far to get a good mark on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Another brilliant day's sport , 86 in anyones book is a very good bag , setting up against a bit of ole farm machinery was certainly a good move , the Pigeons look in good condition and are you getting many young ones in the bag ? , my bags are only small in comparison to yours but haven't had any young ones for quite a while now .
