My permission has wheat which is at the moment being laid by pigeons pushing it down and in another area a few miles up the road fiedls of rape,what in your oppinion is better shooting over laid wheat or on the rape stubbles which will be there in 2 weeks,oh and of course there will be wheat stubbles too.So what should i get on.

weejase Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Just keep an eye out for the fields which the pigeons are feeding on :look: Pigeons are unpredictable birds so you have to get out and do a bit of scouting about :look: jase.

Stillsy Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 For me its not so much what they stereotypically prefer, its where you see the most birds and not just on the ground but in the air. Its more important to see steady flight lines crossing a field than to see 50+ on a field. Slowly over experience i have got out of setting up as soon as i see 50 birds on the field and now i will watch that field and then compare to other fields around before i decide where i shoot. The amount of times i have set up on a field full of pigeon only to find i take one shot and the **** never come back! Hope this helps!

motty Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I've shot big bags of pigeons on wheat and rape stubbles. My advice- shoot both fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
