pigeon controller Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) We could only shoot one day this week and had been looking at a stubble field close to the Motorway. I picked DB up at 08.30 and then recieved a phone call from one of our loyal farmers , not to let him down we drove out to meet him on the field with the problem. 20 birds left the field and none returned. we stayed and chatted to the farmer for twenty minutes and no birds returend or even flighted passed the field. We had committed ourselves to stay at this farm as I had to stop shooting at 15.00 to go to a social event. We confirmed with the farmer that we would stay on his farm and asked him which was the last field to be combined. He said the spring barley, so we went to have a look, 25 birds left the field as we arrived and we noticed a steady line of birds passing the corner of the field to some woods, so we set up with 12 dead bird decoys and the magnet. We ended up with 225 after a very hot day I have recived a bit of criticism saying that I am moaning about the bags that we get. I am very grateful to the farmers for allowing me to carry out my sport and only try to report that you may not be in the right field or on the precise flight line but you can still addapt your pattern or layout to attract birds. As Toppgunners say "NEVER GIVE UP". Good Shooting Pigeon Controller Edited September 14, 2009 by pigeon controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
