    What sort of numbers are ye shooting on the crops?

    I have 62 shot from the time it was sown to now and still a week before it is knocked.

    I'm getting on and off days also. Last week I shot 18 in two and a half hours but today in an hour I shot 1 crow :o

    The numbers have being bad all summer no big bags you set up the pigeons move off to another field too much choice for them i even stopped useing the magnets and now useing floaters to try to get them to come to my decoy patern the good news is farmers are behind cutting the crops so the rape has not being sown for next year which should be sown by september the 10 a farmer i know with 400 acres and always has a couple of fields of rape sown wont have any sown for next year he saids he wont be able to do it in time with less rape fields around this winter the pigeons will have less of a choice where to feed hopefully giveing the shooters bigger bag numbers like 3 years ago when i shot over 1000 pigeons 2009 this year so far i dont even think i shot 100 yet
