A FEW HOURS ON BARLEY STUBBLE

[hotshot2me 31]

Hi all, I took 2 mates of mine along with Tony (Weekendrifle) of this forum, We all met at my house at 0700 just a 10 minute drive to the field. We arrived shortly after got set up in the field with the wind blowing at 16-20MPH, excellent for pigeon shooting, no sooner had we completed setting out the decoys and the spinner the Pigeons started coming. The day before i had seen about 2000 Pigeons on this field without a word of a lie, they started coming in numbers about 10 or 12. after half an hour Tony and i were building a nice little bag, Tony being new to shooting over decoys was slow to pick up but improved as the day went on. After a short while one of my mates had to go, leaving Tony, Alan W and myself Trevor my mate had only got 3 which he brought to us. we had a bit of a lul around 11.30 to 1300 but still getting the occasional bird, the birds were nothing like the numbers I'd seen the day before but this was soon to be explained. at 1400hrs i received a call from another shooter Kieth who shoots for the same company we shoot for, he said your shooting ont stubble are;nt you and i said yes were are you he was on his way down the M62, i said how the hell do you know anyway he replied Ive got my spy's out it was Andy one of the other shooters he was watching us from the very far end of the field with his Binoes. K Kieth asked how we were doing and at that time we had about 70 between us, i said to Kieth i can't understand it as there was 2000 Pigeons in this field yesterday he said i know Andy shot it yesterday afternoon and got 168 up to dusk, There's the answer i said. We continued until i had run out of shells as i had not time to restock the day before i had given Tony 50 of mine leaving me with only 100 for myself. i rung Alan we then packed up, we did a body count and me and Tony between us had 70 + 1 Crow that i got Trev left us 3 making 73, Alan joined us he had 22 + lost 5 in the trees and brambles behind him making a grand total of a 100 + the Crow not a bad session me thinks, Alan wouldn't get his bag out to put in the pile for the Video as they were packed away in the Car, a long Video to follow but all action will stream it ASAP, Should be on tomorrow: Dave
