A early evening call last night got me hustling around to re-pack my decoying kit. I had been out Sunday afternoon on a field close by which has seen some attention of late managing 30, but the dog had some good retrieves so all good.
As we were taking one truck then I hate not having any spare kit so checked through it all twice, plenty of pigeons according to the phone call......
On the field at 8.30 with a large number of birds spread over 4 wheat stubble fields, half an hour of chasing them back over the river with the truck.
I had a slow start with the birds were bypassing straight to my shooting partner 3 fields away, however things always change and despite being down wind of his Perazzi opening up on a regular basis a line started to develop....
122 for me with 117 picked 152 with 148 picked...
So a good day all round.
