Warlock Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Went out today after borrowing a couple of floaters from a friend and a magnet with hypaflaps to waste some time until my kit turns up from shootwarehouse tomorrow, Pigeons were actually decoying on rape because of the extra movement and there was a nice westerly wind. Anyway bagged 45 with 30 shots went to retrieve them an i`m not sure if it`s me but they seem fatter than usual for this time of year, i was wishing i could sell them by the pound and not by the bird, anyone else been noticing some real porkers about?

Warlock Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Probably been in peoples gardens eating there bread and nuts, How did you get 45 birds with 30 carts........ on my permission is a small rape field, in the field is an old WWII bunker, the pigeons have taken to landing pretty close to it, if i can get in there early put a very open choke on my semi with a 32gramme 6 cartridge i found i can throw a banger make them lift then fire into the flock :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good ratio. 1.5 birds for a shot. on my permission is a small rape field, in the field is an old WWII bunker, the pigeons have taken to landing pretty close to it, if i can get in there early put a very open choke on my semi with a 32gramme 6 cartridge i found i can throw a banger make them lift then fire into the flock :-) Bit unsporting mate. You will ***** alot of birds that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlock Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Just using my fieldcraft skills to use the natural cover to get close to my quarry. trouble is it works once or maybe twice a day. because the range is so long i get nice clean kills.

Ferret Master Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 How does that work? I'm sure plenty of birds just pick up a pellet or so when shooting into a flock. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
