the_commoner Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 well as usual, best laid plans and all that ................ the farmer was taking the bails off when i got down to the field i was going to shoot, so that stumped me for a bit, i had a chat and they were going to be about a hour, i had a slow puncture on the Landy so off i went to get that fixed, grabbed some food and kicked myself that i was having to wait because there were pigeons everywhere. anyway ended up getting back over to the field at about 4pm ish, set out my decoys and dropped two from standing at the back of the Landy getting cartridges sorted etc, thought ok we are in for a good day here ................. a mate came down and joined me about 4.30 ish and by 4.45pm we were set and ready to start shooting nothing .......... it went vey quiet the odd one came passed thought about it and carried on............. the magnet went out.........seemed to turn them off even more........magnet came back in i opened the pattern out a bit and presto the odd ones that were coming passed started dropping in, we had a decent ish hour from 6-7pm and ended up with a bag of 20, not massive but it was fairly slow and tough going so we were chuffed. we should have had at least 4 more, slow birds dropping into the pattern coming at me probably 15 - 20 yards away, i missed 4 on the trot, much to shauns amusement..........!
