vmobiler1 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hi, was just wondering has anyone had much sucsess lately decoying pigeons on the rape? I`ve seen plenty about but seems to me that there is to much rape about to keep them in one place. What is your opinion on this? If you have been sucsessfull what size bags have you been getting and what location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) I was out shooting this morning and found huge numbers were shifting from field to field,but sadly not in my permission! Theres a great deal of rape grown round here and like yourself-the pigeons have lots to choose from. My bag this morning wasnt great at just six,but thats life i suppose!

malkiserow Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I went out today on the rape for a few hours but only because the farmer phoned me ... So I thought it would keep him happy if it went to suit him for a change. anyway .... it ended up with me being invited beating on Wednesday !!! happy man I am indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne9 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Went out with PROTOM1 on Tue and had some success but not a lot lol, 10 birds between 2 of us, as some of you have said there is loads of rape about and the flocks on that particular day were moving from field to field but never really in mine! - still a good day out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I had a cracking day on my own at home today, over OSR. Not a huge bag, but 67 sporting birds nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caeser Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 This is just a normal winter. Loads of pigeon but can't get them. I have plenty of land to shoot on, with plenty of winter rape. You can chase them around all day, when they're spoilt for choice. I still enjoy it nevertheless, and usually every winter I get at least one half decent bag, when it all comes together. I think if you get over 20 in the winter, that aint bad. I think baldrick's bag of 67 is excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Spent the morning out, setting up at first light after I'd fed the pheasants. Very little wind today, but parked under a noted and reliable flightline I accounted for 43 by noon. Those Hypa-Flaps certainly work. With a good breeze, I would have had a good bag in that location. The flocks here are enormous, but thankfully there are plenty of stragglers. Just being out on a crisp, still morning was enjoyable. There were quite a few lengthy lulls, so I got to watch the fallow and buzzards pottering about. A fox legged it over the field about 200 yards away, but didn't want to be called.
