farmer Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) Went home from work different way to usual last night due to traffic and drove past a couple of fields of spring rape about inch and half high and it was covered in pigeons so I thought it'd be worth a go at them tommorow. Turned up around 11.30 this morning after phoning around to clear it for shooting then trying to get enough people/guns to come and keep the pigeons moving at such short notice i managed to get my main shooting partner(Geoff) out and that was it(we needed at least 1 more person really) anyway had a quick drive around decided where to set up and by 12 we were ready and waiting almost instantly my mate was away and shooting was good for him, I on the other hand had set up a bit too far off the flight line but i was getting the odd one come in it went dead from about 2-3 then picked up again with birds really pileing into the other end of the field where Geoff had set up I thought to myself he'll be running out of cartridges at this rate I knew he only had 150 pigeon shells on him anyway it got to around 5 and i packed up/picked up my few(14) and 2 i couldn't find in the wheat field next door and drove up to pick geoff up and see how he'd got on. My first question was "I thought you would be running out of shells??" his reply "I had a spare box of 28g 8's in me bag!!" then it was "come on then how many??" and a big grin came on his face with the reply "87 and a few i cant find!!" that made 101 picked up and Geoffs best day on the woodies and with the wind like it was they were real sporting birds.
