marcuspetch Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Ive only been pigeon shooting for approx 6 months and aquired some land earlier this week. The field is rape but it has a large amount of bare patches which the pigeons are still hitting hard. Went yesterday and from a couple of recce trips earlier in the week identified the flight line. Set up uderneath and finished the day with 26 woodies. If I could of shot better I could probably of doubled it but I'm sure it will come with time. I really enjoyed the day and realise what a great sport I've got into. The only thing I did find was that I had a great mornings sport which then seemed to go dead during the afternoon with just the odd bird. It then picked up again in the late afternoon.

cloudwalker Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 That's a good start- well done. You will find that the Woodies do that all the time. Sometimes they don't even bother to turn up CW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 marcuspetch, if the weather is settled all day, the birds always seem to have a "digestion" break somewhere between 12 and 3pm. I was shooting over some well nibbled rape margins this afternoon and did well. The interesting thing was the birds I breasted out tonight were all full of chickweed, not rape. It seems thats what they are feeding on in the bald spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
