I really wanted to go for a ruff wander today but I’ve been getting plagued by the lad at the sheep farm about the pigeons on the rape, so me, Mosh and longshanx met there for a go at them, god, I wished I’d gone for a wander, 4 hours for 3 pigeons, it’s not even they wouldn’t decoy, they just weren’t about, I even tried the make a cup of tea trick, but still they didn’t come Feeding tomorrow, so maybe I’ll have a walk around the forestry with the little.22

I personally wouldn't bother trying to shoot pigeons on winter rape , waste of time mate . I learnt that about 30 years ago never done it since.

True. We only had  some success on Friday because we were on a flightline.

It’s not about shooting pigeons it’s about keeping farmer john happy so I can still do what I want up there, shooting them on winter rape is ok as long as it’s not freezing and they are not flocked up, I’ve had some good days at them in the past in January and February on rape when the temp is up a bit and there’s nothing else for them to eat

I'm tempted to because I think a freshman has turned up. Oh wait, when I moved the camera early I forgot the scraps so I have to go and bait the new site

That’s what I normally do up there if they are not dropping in and I’m on my own there’s loads of pheasants, partridges and ducks up there and a few bolting rabbits for a place that’s not very big

You’re right there Mark, generally a fruitless effort so I don’t bother either.

Yerr, get that .22 on the squirrels Stav, still loads about around here. I’m going to have a good bash at them as soon as the game season has finished.
