archiekale 427 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) well i decided to go take a look on some stubble fields and called for a breakfast a good start to the day .called at one of my farms and was having a chin wag. the farmer told me the pigeons are already hitting the beans so will let me know as soon as he cuts them. i had a ride about watching different fields for a while and decided to set up on a thick edge with a slight wind on my back the birds where feeding on a field i dont have permission to shoot but the flight across my permission .so i got set up at 1.30 after the rain had stopped the magnet was out + a turbo flapper and 15 pro decoys it was a steady day with a lot of young squabs. after 4pm most of the birds were mature birds must have been returning from the village gardens.had a couple of firsts for me today while on the phone to ian i shot a double single handed and then shot a woody with a ring on.the young bitch still getting exited but shes learning fast dropped 72 birds at the game dealers so a great start to the week Edited September 4, 2017 by archiekale 3 Quote Link to post

jok 3,035 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 TBH I thought you were having a giraffe. First I've heard of that happening. I suppose when you think about it, it would have been relatively easy to ring squabs and then use them for monitoring purposes. Wonder if they still do this. Jok. Quote Link to post
