rob reynolds uk 3 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 been full bore pigeon shooting most saturdays for the last 6 months or there about had some right good bags but at the moment i find its a waste of time iv been out the last 6 times and called a blank really ,the pigeon really dont want to know and aint playing ball ,i have all the kit you name it i have it ,i have loads of farms to shoot on to meny really as all the farmers want you there at the same time ,and they really are pulling there hair out ,i know how they feel ,pull on a field with well over 500 birds on it and im lucky to see a pigeon come back never mind a shot ,so i giveing it a rest for a few weeks going to bust some clays to get my eye in for when they do come back .i would say march should be about right ..any body in to pigeon or crow shooting have a look on here ... http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ its a good site Quote Link to post

pegandgun 52 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I take partys of lads out on the woodies most weekends.The way i do it is to get as many guns out over as big an area as possible and flag the fields off that arent been shot.I will also drive round in the landrover putting shots over any birds that settle where they aint supposed to be. By dinner time the birds are getting hungry and start to decoy well Quote Link to post

Guest rudolf Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Good luck with the woodies and the rookies there is nothing more enjoyable than a day in a hide shooting them, especially if you had a couple of weeks bad stalking. Dont quote me on this but i would like to know the answer, i was told that you have to have a reason to shoot woodies and prove that they are causing damage to crops. I shoot a lot of woodies and it was the farmer that brought it to my attention. Quote Link to post
