Mike170874 Posted January 14, 2024 Report Share Posted January 14, 2024 I was out checking the rape fields yesterday nothing doing again maybe 50 on one field but disappeared soon as I got 200 yards down the track .They didn't return after 20 mins so walked back to the car scanning the land with my binos I saw a stream of birds flying low from right to left when I followed it back to one of the big woods on my perm and there they were in their hundreds maybe 500 plus every tree covered and the flight line stretched half a mile right to a rape field just over my boundary hedge there were another 300 plus already on the ground and being joined by another flight line from the left from a huge estate.now my problem was do I set up with my hushpower which I had brought right on the flight line which would have been perfect no noise to disturb the continous line of birds going back and forth to the woods or do I sit in the rape fields on my perm .Then my farmer turns up and says he needs his barns clearing of pigeons *** 😤 so spent the day shooting flying rats ended up with 85 still hundreds more though .Hopefully next week they are still doing the same thing as its given strong winds and cloudy .

pigeon controller Posted January 14, 2024 Report Share Posted January 14, 2024 Sometimes you have to turn out for the farmers as they control the shooting. You do earn brownie points but it is frustrating but in the long run you should retain the shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
