A day on the stubble with Si Pittaway & his friend Gary shooting pigeons.

[zini 1,939]

Hi there,

 

In this episode of VerminHuntersTV we are showing something slightly different from the norm and I get invited by a friend of mine Gary onto one of his stubble field permissions to go pigeon shooting with him.

 

As you will see I was wearing a Jack Pyke ghillie smock, gloves and head over and the birds just could not see me stood next to Gary filming.

 

Please enjoy

 

Si.

It's Great Si,

 

Especially Flighting as they come over really fast and You don't see them till their on You,

Decoying's good as well especially if there's 2 or more of You, But for pure Adrenalin Flighting

is the Dogs Danglys.

 

Forgot to Mention Superb Film Si, Thumbs up bud. :thumbs:

An excellent video again Si, a break from your normal videos did you enjoy doing it, like the suit, i have a Ghillie suit but mine's made out of jute a bit warm in summer. I'm almost fit enough to get out, planning for next week, and i am off decoying over wheat stubble. was hoping for this Friday but decided to make sure I'm fit, ATVB: Dave

This is great. I really love my pidgeon shooting over stubble at this time of the year and this is one of your best films Si.

 

There's an art to decoying woodpidgeon effectively that can't be demonstrated enough. They are very smart birds and very aware of their environment and any threat in their area. This is one of the best How-To-Do-It videos I've seen in a long time since the late and much-missed John Darling.

 

Easily adaptable information for effective hide shooting with an air rifle, from a well prepared point of cover and concealment.

 

Superbly filmed and explained mate. And great fieldcraft and shooting from your friend Gary

 

Regards and compliments.

I was well chuffed.

I thought you would be shooting them with air rifles, that would be a challenge.
