Anyone been having a bash at the woodies....probably have a look this week as theres quite a few around at the minute on the rape, a lot of bangers about scattering them but suppose its always hit and miss...

A bit frustrasting in m y bit of Hertfordshire. Went out Sunday for four hours. Big flock (150+) on the eifld of rape I usually shoot over. they flew off as I arrived. Set up hide, bouncers and decoys. About 100 pigeons returned but landed about 200 yards away. They were slowly but steadily working their way down the field towards me, whena buzzard spooked them and they flew off and didn't return. Waited two hours and nothing cam near.

 

Moved to another farm close by. Hundreds of pigeons feeding on rape at far corner of field by main road (where I can't shoot). Eventually a fired a shot to move them on. They all flew over me but at least 200 feet up in the air!

 

All I got that day was a rat that was scuttling along the edge of the field!

There are more pigeons in my area (Fife) this winter than I have seen in the last 15 years.

 

They had a very long breeding season last year, shot our first squab on 31st March and was still shooting young birds in mid November!

 

Had some good bags of late, huge numbers (4-5k) of birds in some areas, this years going to be a good one!!
