Ozzy Fudd Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 ended up after the rabbits again today didnt have much luck before the rain came on (nearly had a woody that landed 70 yards off but couldnt get a clear shot before he saw me) so that was my day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagantino Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Ive been out three times this year. First time was near Catlewllan almost 2 months ago. 31 crows and 11 feral pigeon. That was a good day but 2 weeks ago I had a great day in a field near me. I was shooting over Oil seed rape and the woodpigeons were loving it. This field normally attracts crows but this Saturday it was woodies only. The final bag was 11 WP which is great for me with lots of misses. Last week I returned to the same field and now its all yellow flower. I set up again, eat my sandwiches, drank my coffee,eat my snickers, listened to "Im sorry i havent a clue" on my ipod. Pigeons? Nahhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW80 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 i was watching a fiels out the back of our work yard on thursday, there's a small field about 1 1/2 acre of barley, there was quite a lot of it downed with the heavy rain and the pigeons were hammering it, the field is impossible to shoot as it backs on to a housing estate and a road runs along the other boundry. It was full of birds, i watched for about 1o mins between rain showers and as a conserative estimate i would have said at least 250 pigeons came and went!! No too much activity round my own shoots as the crop is a few weeks later up here, but looking foward to getting a few evenings soon!!
