hi again kev, we shoot over a mixture of crops aswell ,barley, wheat,rape and also the odd field or two of peas, but i find it hard to fit everything in as i enjoy a bit of terrier work,lurchers,ferreting and rough shooting and through the summer i try to thin rabbits out in areas where they are thick on the ground,where do you do most of your shooting ? I do most of mine up around hereford and abergavenny.

hello kev ive taken my rimfire once or twice when decoying for the same use as you said taking out the long range birds which dont want to come into the pattern or are just playing hard to get, how did you get the goose was he just flying over while pigeon shooting ? i shot one once and he didnt half take some plucking. when your pigeon shooting do you use a pigeon magnet or just set up a pattern of decoys because we use a magnet sometimes and it can be lethall for pulling birds in one day and other days it can have the opposite effect and spook alot of birds,anyway i mainly use my cz rimfire for rabbit control on the lamp or a bit of evening stalking which i really enjoy, perhaps we could arrange a days shooting together in the future whether it be evening shooting or decoying for pigeons or crows up one of my farms .

that would be great mate,have a day on eachothers farms,when pigeon shooting,we have a magnet(whirly),also 3 bouncers,also 1 flapper,and all our decoys are flocked ,self flocked and also hand painted by my old man,we have a dozen shells and a good few full bodys,same for the crows,we have a pecking crow,flapper,and bouncers again,the goose mate,we were in the hide and they landed right in front of us,a good number of them,we took a few photos from the hide first ,will dig them out,i shot a good few geese on our other frms when they been flying over and although i dont eat them myself they feed a good few dogs,the owner of the land rang us and seen the geese had landed in front of us and asked us to shoot them,we only shot the one as we had only 2 shells that were right for it in the game bag,the breast weighs around 12lb in weight on a canada,feeds a good few mutts,seen 15 this week and kept on walking past them,good fun in the evenings with the rim fire,done a good fair bit of lamping with a 22 as well,and they can be great tools if having to thin some rabbits out quiclky,best night was 54 rabbits ,we could of shot more but thinking about gutting them and having to carry more we called it a night,sort a day out soon mate nce the crops have been cut

i find these great cartridges but not sure if i will be able to get these now because litts is closed down.

do you do much with the c.z?we often use it when pigeon shooting in the hide,pigeons landing on water troffs to far ut for the shotgun or as we all seen it landing 50 yards off from your decoys,adds a few birds into the bag,rounds have gone up along with everything else though which is a downfall,still trying to resize some photos took with another camera,lol,doing me head in

 

hello kev ive taken my rimfire once or twice when decoying for the same use as you said taking out the long range birds which dont want to come into the pattern or are just playing hard to get, how did you get the goose was he just flying over while pigeon shooting ? i shot one once and he didnt half take some plucking. when your pigeon shooting do you use a pigeon magnet or just set up a pattern of decoys because we use a magnet sometimes and it can be lethall for pulling birds in one day and other days it can have the opposite effect and spook alot of birds,anyway i mainly use my cz rimfire for rabbit control on the lamp or a bit of evening stalking which i really enjoy, perhaps we could arrange a days shooting together in the future whether it be evening shooting or decoying for pigeons or crows up one of my farms .

 

 

that would be great mate,have a day on eachothers farms,when pigeon shooting,we have a magnet(whirly),also 3 bouncers,also 1 flapper,and all our decoys are flocked ,self flocked and also hand painted by my old man,we have a dozen shells and a good few full bodys,same for the crows,we have a pecking crow,flapper,and bouncers again,the goose mate,we were in the hide and they landed right in front of us,a good number of them,we took a few photos from the hide first ,will dig them out,i shot a good few geese on our other frms when they been flying over and although i dont eat them myself they feed a good few dogs,the owner of the land rang us and seen the geese had landed in front of us and asked us to shoot them,we only shot the one as we had only 2 shells that were right for it in the game bag,the breast weighs around 12lb in weight on a canada,feeds a good few mutts,seen 15 this week and kept on walking past them,good fun in the evenings with the rim fire,done a good fair bit of lamping with a 22 as well,and they can be great tools if having to thin some rabbits out quiclky,best night was 54 rabbits ,we could of shot more but thinking about gutting them and having to carry more we called it a night,sort a day out soon mate nce the crops have been cut

definately sort a day out,i got a nice farm up in hereford for a bit of decoying its good for crows and pigeons only trouble is i got to beat another guy to them no disrespect to him but he got permission on same farm he's retired so got more time on his hands,i find it hard working shifts to time it right so i am up there when the birds are mad keen to get on the fields, had a good day on crows up there last year field had just been re seeded and it was black with crows they wre even dropping in as i was setting up hide i was on my own and managed to shoot 79 and missed twice as many if i had someone with me it could well have been over a 100 bird day ,had some good days on pigeons aswell. jason
