With the combine racing the harvest away for me it opens up where the Foxes and Muntjac have been hiding, however my favourite quarry is pigeons as it might be memorable to shoot a nice buck but a steady trickle of pigeons twisting in the wind can last a good few hours...
Yesterday I saw a line of birds crossing over on to a wheat field so went to take a look! with 1/2 an hour of recon I text the farmer this morning at 7 as no good calling once they get the combine cranked up!
Pigeon shooting at weekends is an exercise in how much people will want to use the field you just want to sit in alone!!
2 pairs of horse rides around 1/2 an hour apart, the Kiwi tractor driver brushing the headland (had to dismantle the hide)
In-between I managed to shoot 60 pigeons picking 52 as 8 went over the stream into some paddocks so I kept Chip this side as you just never know....
The bailers turned up as I clicked 60 so that was it lol
As usual my spaniel did far more than I asked him to....
