AlBrown 61 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 At the minute I am out 3 to 4 times a week in a local farmyard. up to now I have taken around 250 wood pigeon and about 30 collard doves. None of it going to waste all being eaten by me or the hawks getting well fed for their moult. Currently using an FX2000 in .22 with a Nikko Stirling Nighteater 6-24x56 LRX at the minute pretty much everything that appears in the scope falls nicely. An old pic of the rifle with a carbon weave covering to protect the rifle from my laziness to wipe it down after shooting. and recent morning out before the carbon effect addition and getting the new sight.

AlBrown 61 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Wow, sounds like you have a brilliant permission! Good shooting i think the rifle looks really smart with the carbon weave ATB Adam I have 3 local farms which all have grain silos which are all in use, so every time they open them up grain ends up spilt and the pigeons think they are going to have a field day but not on the hour or 2 I am there they don't. Now got 2 freezers full of them for my birds and ferrets to feed on and every now and again make a few pigeon pies and pasties. The carbon weave is cheap as chips and easy to fit and for me saves the problem of not wiping down the rifle when I should being a lazy bugger.

Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 most woodys ive had in one session is 2 hahahaa its a *rare delicasy for me Quote Link to post
AlBrown 61 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Had an early morning out patrolling the farm yards and there were very few woodies about, finally settled down in a stable looking out to one of the silos and it took about 45 minutes before the first bird showed which was dually dispatched. Then there was a steady stream for about 30 minutes managing 10 in total and 2 gulls. Not the best session on normally very productive yards but enough to have made the fuel money worth it. on the way home I found out why there were so few one of the fields of rape had been cut and the field was grey with well over a thousand birds on it from what i could see there were rows of them working down the field with gulls and crows. Ah well better luck next time. ATB Alex Quote Link to post
hutch6 550 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'm lucky if I see a woody let alone get the crosshairs on it. I have one that visits my garden but I like seeing that one so i feed it - that's what I tell the GF, really I want it to spread the word that my place is the best eating around to all of its mates and then I can FINALLY have myself a pie. I can even taste the imaginary pie now. Good grief it's nice. I've dribbled down my t-shirt. 2 Quote Link to post
