Tom Rutlidge Posted Friday at 15:35 Report Share Posted Friday at 15:35 Very long time since I posted on here however I intend to make this my main platform to post my days out in the field from now on... Had a great first outing in the wood last Saturday. A very still start to the day meant the birds were flying very high especially with their reluctancy to commit with being shot at from pillar to post! Playing the patient game however and only shooting at sensible birds I started to chip away and build a respectable bag. As the evening drew on the wind picked up and the birds started to come in with much more confidence. This continued to improve as their desperation to roost increased as the light began to fade. I was very happy by close of play to pick 52 woodies and a single Jackdaw. Hoping for a similar day tomorrow! Good luck to all heading out...

kitchrat Posted Friday at 16:09 Report Share Posted Friday at 16:09 Brilliant bag! Glad you agree with my tactics "Playing the patient game however and only shooting at sensible birds". We are there to shoot pigeons, not just to shoot AT pigeons. Blasting away at speculative birds does nothing except scare them away, unless you are Mr Digweed, which I am not! Trying the same plan tomorrow! Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted Saturday at 09:25 Report Share Posted Saturday at 09:25 That is a very good bag of pigeons considering the window you have when roost shooting and only picking shootable birds, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilts#Dave Posted Saturday at 10:27 Report Share Posted Saturday at 10:27 Cracking bag Tom. My favourite shooting of all, although I’ve limited opportunity to do it on the farms I shoot over sadly. Great to just turn up with gun and cartridges and get into the action for an hour or so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted yesterday at 10:32 Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:32 50 odd Pigeons while roost shooting is a superb bag of Pigeons and sport at it's highest level , talking to one or two who went last week the biggest bag I heard of was 13 followed by the keeper who got 11 , the rest were below double figures so I doubt if the whole lot added up to three figures , this year we haven't got any rape so weather it have made any difference then I can't say , what I can say is we have got very , very few Pigeons .
