thinxs Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Please help. Hopeing to go out at the weekend but the question is do I go on some new permision which has got beans about two inches high or do I go on rape which has been kept down? The feilds are either side of a wood and pigeons are getting on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk101 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hi Thinxs, I personally would go for the rape, but you maybe better to see what there doing when you turn up. In fact if you had some1 with you you could shoot both! I'm a clever fella aint I good luck whatever you decide! turk101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be better not worrying at this stage but to make the decision on the day, pigeon are very fickle, changing their preference even half way through the day. The weather will play a major part in the scene that you find when you arrive at the field, a rough guide would be to observe what is taking place the day before, but it is by no means certain thats what they will be feeding on in the morning Judging by some of your questions imo you should seek out someone who,s been at it awhile, and lessen the angle of the learning curve somewhat.

Shooting Tom Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 get someone the other side to keep pigeons moving or one shot and they will be gone. may get the odd shot but if you keep them moving you are more likely to get more shooting. thats what i would do Goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 stick a banger rope on one shoot on the other. Just wait until the morning see which field is being favoured then make your decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerseaDavid Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I would go on the rape but as most of the guys have said you cant really tell until you get to the fields and see what the birds are doing. It is unusual for pigeons to be feeding on beans that are already growing, if it was peas I would understand but it just seems strange to me. Good luck mate.

thinxs Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Turned out they were in the trees, eating the buds/leaves. Oh well. Thanks for your responces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerseaDavid Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 That does not surprise me at the moment most of my shooting has been in little wood or along hedges where I know birds will be, but it wont be long before they hit the fields again.
