Gamegetter 128 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Pigeons were the order of the day today, so me Jet and the wildcat took a stroll down to our favourite hide down in a small copse on my mate kevs farm . Was bitterly cold when we got there at 7:30 ,but on our approach I could see a few pigeons flittering amongst the ivy picking off the berries So got setup in the hide and waited with the dog . Not long after a pigeon glided in just above the hide a 16 yarder and first bird in the bag and a retrieve for Jet . Then missed two on the trot ! But came good on the third shot just under 20 yards and whacked another that made it two in the bag Smacked another pigeon hard but he flew like a bat out of hell, we couldn't find that one but knew he wouldn't last long , we all do it As the Sun started to filter through the copse another pigeon appered and whacked that one clean in the upper chest with a satisfying pop , that was a 40 yarder give or take and sent jet off for the pick up . Whacked another off the same branch not long after , so that was two out of that tree Two more pigeons from just outside the hide one at 30 ish yards and the other just under that gave me 6 pigeons , by then it was getting on towards lunch time and despite having a flask of tea and a bit of grub I was getting a tad cold then ! The bitter cold wind started to take its toll and missed a couple of birds, so decided to call it a day . A cracking morning spent with the dog a few good pick ups ,6 pigeons in the bag and a pigeon stir fry for me and the Mrs tonight The final tally 6 pigeon Inside the hide View from the hide You just missed that pigeon !
