Pigeon shooting


Recommended Posts

Anybody in kent had any big bags of pigeons recently,i've got my eye on a flock of about 1500 down near dover that are hammering 2 fields of rape,just need some time to get on em and thin em out a bit.

Would like to hear from guys and gals around the kent area,just to get a feel on how this part of the country's doing for pigeons.

Assist on 10,000 Acres in Hertfordshire

 

The Only way to reduce their Numbers is have several firing points

 

We set up in Different woods - and wait for them to fly between them

 

Best if over 300 for 5 Shooters

 

I has some Lead Goose Shots 50 Grain 1's - Managed to get a passing Flock with 6 Shots

Really spoilt their Day for them :D

 

Many Areas have Shooting Groups for such Day's

 

Might be a idea to set up such a scheme through the Board ..........

No major bags here in north west kent, been having ago at the pigeons on the feilds but they seem to just f**k off after 2 shots, been told that hopefully this cold will hold them bit better as they need to feed more. saw a few today mind.

Just been out today to finalise some shooting rights on about 1600+ acres of land around dover, saw approx 200 seagulls sitting in a field, pigeon wise not alot about probably observed flocks of 30-40, i drive a white Ford Ranger and sat under the flight line and beeped my horn and they kept coming back so it looks like i have a nice area to shoot, few areas of woodland and rolling hills make it nice.

Two of my mates went out last Wednesday had around 80 on rape near Faversham, really large flock. So on Saturday 6 of us set off early so as to be set up ready for the action to begin.

Typical after three hours only 3 pigeons shot, they were just not on these fields :angry: . Packed up after 5 hours with nothing to show for it. Still may be this week ;)
