ftm 3,357 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 went for a bit of a drive today [northumberland] with the purpose of smoking a few rats out for a keeper but it didnt work out as planned so tactics were changed and i went on the ferals in a big covered grain store with 3 silos and my mate went off doing his bit i managed a good few ferals but some i couldnt get to but a happy farmer thanked me for the small pile i had laid out my mate had killed a few corvids but never picks owt up so couldnt add to pic -billy Quote Link to post

roughcoat 8 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Can you tell the difference one easy the other two None of these are feral their all protected the top one is a rock dove that all racing pigeons were bred from and all feral's come from, the only difference is the wild rock dove is smaller so I doubt any body with a shotgun could tell. I have never seen any of them in the wild. Quote Link to post
