Jurrasicway Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi All, I have done a little pigeon shooting (probably five times in the last year) but only walking around fields and taking shots that came along. I decided to take it a bit more seriously and purchased 12 shell decoys. My first two hour outing gave me 13 shots and 6 pigeon. However the pigeons that I took were all settled in the trees behind me. Several diverted and took a look or a low fly over my decoys but then came in to roost behind me. Things went quiet for about 20 minutes and then a big black shape passed over me and a buzzard hit one of my shell decoys so hard it broke the plastic peg. Is this a normal decoying hazard or is it something that happens on very few occasions? Nice to be part of your forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
