turk101 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi all, Here's a report for yesterday. We have been watching a field of camalena that the farmer has informed us he has ruined (sprayed with a chemical on someone's recomendation but it has killed the crop) except for a strip which has obviously not being sprayed. Anyway this field has had a steady flow of pigeons hitting the field, we decided to leave them for a week or so to get confident. After walking around the surrounding fields, and a spot of crow bashing for another farmer, we arrived at 12.30 set up two hides about 50ft apart two magnets and 7 dead birds on cradles each. The shooting was immediate but a little slow for around half hour, then it went really consistent, regular shooting and some amazing shots and birds were taken by both of us. The only shame is this field is very awkward to shoot (roads, house's etc) so we had a very limited angle for shooting. This said we picked up 151 between us, with me smashing my PB of 32 by more than double 78, ! i am certain 100% that i had a 100+ day but could not pick all the dropped birds, and this is the same for my shooting partner, so all in all an excellent day was had by both of us, with the usual banter and fun that makes the day, so 200+ birds NOT bad at all. Oh and we had a visit from the local police as one of the houses had complained of pellets hitting there garage roof, he had one look at were we were sitting and our angles, apologised and said they must be mad and maybe it was someone else shooting over the other side of the road. He thanked us told us to carry on and enjoy ourselves and left. We also ran out of cartridges, so called the farmer who promptly brought us some, we explained the police issue, he told us we handled it well and the field is shootable, so as long as we keep up the good work we have nothing to worry about. thanks for reading turk101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Nice right up turk101. that sounds like you had a fantastic day there. You should get yourself one of those clickers, about £3.00 from ebay, so you know how many you shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
