MerseaDavid Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) Me and dad went out again today to have another go at the pigeons. When we got to the farm the farmer told us that the pigeons were starting to hit his drilled rape that was just starting to show through. So we went to the field and noticed a few flying around over the middle of the field heading for a couple of oak trees along one of the hedges, so we decided to give it ago. We went over to the oak trees and sat under them and started shooting without any decoys and the birds kept coming in well and after an hour we set up the pigeon magnet just to draw in a few more and they kept coming until about 3:45pm and we then packed up after shooting 50 pigeons and 1 crow and he went round a couple of our wood just to pick up a few more. Total bag = 61 pigeons (me=28, dad= 33) , 1 crow, 1 dove and 2 rabits. Edited September 12, 2009 by MerseaDavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these things help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
