stu nesling Posted Saturday at 15:58 Report Share Posted Saturday at 15:58 just got back from a good start to the pigeon season, shot over some chopped maize that had been popular with the birds all week and ended with 105. shot. some nice tall curling birds ( to my amazement i hit them) and missed a few sitters as always. started to loose concentration after 80 but managed to hang in there to get the 100+. used too many shells but that was due to the birds not decoying very well and about 2/3rds of the birds were passing / just looking at the decoys. shot some cracking birds that made my day and even bagged 2 x young birds.

stu nesling Posted Saturday at 16:18 Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 16:18 (edited) 👍 chrs tc/835. early in the morning before we went to shoot we watched 5k+ pigeons flighting to our maize and next doors. not seen so many birds for a long time. hope they stay around. and there was probably 3-5k on a neighbouring farm too, good times Edited Saturday at 16:19 by stu nesling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted Saturday at 18:17 Report Share Posted Saturday at 18:17 I totally forgot this is a Pigeon shooting forum as talk from the field was beginning to get cobwebs round the edges , excellent bag of Pigeons and you are lucky to have chopped up Maize in late February , normally the Rooks and Pigeons would have flattened that by now , don't really matter how many shells you fired , there would have been plenty of people about who would be willing to pay good money for a day like that . THANKS for posting . MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilts#Dave Posted Sunday at 08:50 Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:50 If you’re lucky enough to have chopped up maize covers to go at it certainly draws them at this time of year. Nice bag, I’d love a 100 bird day at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
