roost shooting

Had my second roost shoot of the year. The weather was calm and sunny . There were far fewer pigeons about compaired with last week and a lot less shooting from the other woods. 11 in the bag , but the few birds i saw were very wary . All the 18 shots i had were at extream range birds.

 

A mate and i had about 140 birds on 3 mornings decoying on rape , but the birds were hard to find. On Friday we saw 6-800 over 2 fields at first light , but they quickly moved on and a mid morning tour around 15 rape fields scattered across the 7,000 acres i shoot showed very few pigeons. Indeed the whole countryside seemed devoid on them. I have heard of some big bags being made localy over cut cover crops ( one farmer and a friend had 600 last weekend in mid Norfolk over cut maze).
