Met our mate **** in the pub on Friday.

What you doing Saturday he asks. Got to do a bit of shopping 1st thing says he.

Well a farmer recons he,s got a field full of pigeons, do you want to go down.

Oh yes says he. Can get there by 10.00.

I,m working till 12.00 says **** and I,ll come down then.

Drove to field, just north of Hartley Wintney. Pulled over at gate to get a feel for how things look. Up they went BLUE, hundreds, and a lot of black also. Evidently farmer had havested some flat barley and a lot of grain was left on the ground.

Drove up to top of field to set up against a round bale. The pigeons were actually landing around us while setting up. Doing to be a BIG DAY methinks.

Hardly needed the deaks or whirler, Shot 6 in as many minutes. So put these on cradles. Killed steadily all morning but needed another gun. **** arrived 1.00pm and set up his hide & whirler. (Home made kit, 8ft arms, goes round about 30 mph.)

Put out more cradles, nice big spead with good-size space in the middle. Hides facing into the wind, down the valley.

About 1.30 they started coming from all directions not just into the wind.

So many good birds that they could choose to leave the close-ups and landers.

Both killed some exceptional high fast birds. Kept on till 5.30 when **** had to go. Packed up and picked up. (Birds still landing whilst we walked about!!.

Total count, 155 + 9 blacks. Off to pub, pleased but knackered. RTR. Pigeonwatch News, North Hampshire.

Remy,

 

you must have been a couple of happy chappies after that bag, the bird population and movement seem to have increased in my area after a poor August so lets hope we are in for some good bags.

 

I've had 6 100+ days this week but its not the same if your in your bed fast alseep,"Dreaming".

 

Yes Im still to bag a 100+ birds but it will happen I'm sure.

 

Shame you dont have a picture, or do you.....any members got there self into sporting gun?

 

The PM

What a difference a few days make!!

Yesterday did same field as Saturday.

Very few feeding on arrival.

Set up, took one within 5 minutes, then shot (@) about one every 15 mins.

Quite a few passing through but not interested in decoys or rotor. Tried taking rotor in, changing patterns, all to no avail.

Took 6 in 3 hours......waste of an afternoon.

They had obviously stripped all the feed.

Have to go on a recce for the weekend.
