ernyha Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 jimdfish you can have a good one off day at almost anytime of the year but in my opinion the most productive days are when the crops are cut and they are feeding on the stubble. July,August and September have been my best months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyni Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Only a month and a half until the guns come out for us. God help them after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon master Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hi Jim, welcome to the NPPC, I am also a member and its a good move for unlimited land to shoot over. I have been a member for a short while and I've had a few shoots over the club farms, but with all of the crops been very high now then like the others are saying we are all waiting for some crops to be cut. Then we can get the decoys out and start bagging some birds. Good luck, Happy woodie shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hello Jim, I have been decoying pigeon for 30 years man and boy and I would say without doubt that the best, consitant pigeon shooting I have had would be on Winter rape planted between wheat stubble in January and February particulary after a prolonged cold snap. Good luck with your shooting and most of all enjoy it ! FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowstopper Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 I prefer just after the shooting season has finished then u do not disturb any birds which were going 2 be shot, as I shoot a lot in woods. Crowstopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
