jamesspencer_2001 Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Tried again over the stubble yesterday but with the high pressure the birds wernt bothered at all and just sat in there sitty trees. :< In my view the best weather for pigeoning is low pressure a good wind and the possibility of light rain but when i get to go we always have high pressure. :thumbs: What i would like to know is when youve had your biggest bags of pigeons what time of year has it been and what was the weather like??

white fox Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Spenner Best short session 25 white bars and 2 magpies in 1/2 hour over stubble, middle of the field, 12 deeks, no rotary, no hide, sitting beside a straw bale, warm sunny day, about 4pm, light breeze - sorry no idea of pressure, didn't have a barometer handy :thumbs: WF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene molloy Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 James, On a stubble field at this time of year I don't believe you've got much chance no matter what the weather is; they'll have eaten up what grain there was weeks ago. Unless you see the birds coming into the field, landing, feeding, taking off and then going to the sitty trees you are on a loser. Biggest bag, (between three of us) 550 in frozen snow on a sprout field. Best bag, 17 (between two of us) in a howling gale as they they came into roost. My cousins wife made a great curry with them; biggest aint always best, in fact hardly ever. Kind Regards Eug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Biggest bag... 152 January 1983 Freezing cold I mean freeeeeeeezing cold over winter rape. It was so cold one of my mates kissed his barrel after shooting his first bird and took all the skin off his top lip... What a ****.... Best bag... 21 last year over a ripening sunflower field. Not many birds I admit but I only loosed 25 cartridges... Honest. :thumbs: FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesspencer_2001 Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 The field still has alot of grain on and the birds are all over it when we arrive but as soon as there up there gone. Nothing else around that there really intrested in but they just seem to get a feed then **** of to the trees.
