[archiekale 427]

hi lads went out this morning by myself (bunny tickler ) was supposed to come but had car problems on the way so had to turn round its a good hour from his place to mine plus 40 mins to permission long day for him we were going to split up and try to keep the birds moving so this plan was out the window i arrived at about 8.30 the traffic was horrendous. pigeons were on the rape fields so i decided to set up on the field with the most damage after walking the 200 yards back and forth with the decoys chair gun magnet cartridges batteries pigeon hyde finally got set up sat there and watched over 200 birds going on the next field realy pissed off not a bird came my way then about 12 the contractor turned up to spray the fields so carried all the outfit back to truck and decided to go on a rape field i have shot before got there about 12.45 not many pigeons about but got set up with the magnet the odd birds came in dribs and drabs got 2 doubles so was well pleased ended about 3.00 nothing came from 2.20 so on the way home i had a look on the first fields not a bird anywhere ended the day with 19 fresh birds 23 in picture but 4 from freezer

Well done that is still a decent bag for a day on the pigeons.

Nothing bothering the rape near me yet.

you not been out ian ?

Most of the rape on farms i can get on is hardly getting touched as most of it is between 6 to 9 inches in height.Soon as the game shoots have finished i can get onto other farms and look around.As usual plenty of pigeons dropping into other farmers rape fields near where i can shoot but they have game shoots on.

Still getting out every week though got to give the dog a run about.

The pigeons i shoot are usually full of hawthorne berries or beech mast as the hedges are full of berries.Lots of beech mast about as well in the woods.

Getting more shooting on the crows and rabbits and keep getting the odd pheasant.
