ftm 3,357 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) hi lads my mate whose a keen wood pigeon man calledlast night to see if i fancied a bit roost shooting so not being a man to turn down an offer the gear was in his car as quick as a flash we arrived at the wood and not a single bird to be seen ,ive seen hundreds sitting in these trees during the day so i forgave him for not doing a bit of home work 1st .any way i suggest a short trip to one of my patches and this is a mixed wood with a bit of shelter and it will always hold woodies magpies crows etc on arrival i spot a few 40 yds in and take a long shot and hit a branch and there off further along theres an "easy"one "just aim pull the trigger and its yours type of bird "" i missed ! this went on with afew shots and then when i got my "eye "in and started hitting them they decided they werent playing dead and fecked off i managed one woodie and winged a magpie [the fox will get him ] i went home wondering what the hell was all that about .just goes to show even a fairly seasoned air gunner can have an off night Edited March 10, 2012 by ftm Quote Link to post

kanny 20,667 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) At least you got a shot of bud! i went out last night for a spot of lamping on the rabbits and didnt see a thing. mind you the cloud cover moved leaving a nice bright moon so that didnt help but on the plus side me and my lad sat and watched a badger 10yrds away routing about for 10 mins it didnt seem to give a fek that we was there with a lamp on him.it made the trip worth it as its the first time my boys seen one and it was just good to get out the house for a couple of hours. kanny Edited March 10, 2012 by kanny Quote Link to post
