the other way round my way some contractors tried planting potatoes on some of the land i shoot unfortuantely for them they couldnt get out about half the harvest up i was down there the other day filling a couple of sacks with spuds and noticed about 80-100 pigeons feeding on them i sat and watched but couldnt see a flight line there was a couple of trees close by the seemed to be flying to i went down today and there still there i know its a bit late and all but would it be worth me setting up some deeks where they were feeding and sitting in wait under the trees :lol:

Pigeons can sometimes feed on rotten potatoes especially if they have frozen and then broken down as pigeons can then peck at them and digest them- from what you say this is what is happening. Have a look at what they're eating, and if there's plenty of it around (rotten potatoes) and the farmer isn't doing anything with it then perhaps give them a couple more days to build up in numbers and then give them a whack- depending when you have time available, you should certaininly get a few.
