Dedication or stupidity?

Nothing wrong in enjoying your suroundings.

 

Not all about shooting 100`s of pigeons everytime .

After you have been there and done it its sometimes nice just to chilax.

 

Makes the real good days even better!

 

biggest mistake you made is posting on here from the hide!!! LOL

I believe there is a trout fishing club who's motto is something like "Piscatora non piscatorum" or 'There is more to fishing than catching fish'. (I'm definitely open to correction on the Latin if anyone knows it ) Sometimes it's just the 'being there' that counts. As said above, see it as a picnic with potential.

 

That said, my shot to kills ratio isn't much better on some days, and a lack of birds to 'practice on' does sometimes make you start to wonder about your own sanity :lol:

Same for me on Sunday, pile off empty shells and a brace pigeons and a brace of rooks, but the highlight was a bloody great buzzard came right over the hide and later a barn owl working along the hedgerow

jdog nailed it, the more you go and hopefully shoot a decent bag or two the harder it will be to sit there when the birds aren't moving or likely too. I can't sit there knowing I'm wasting my time when I could be at work doing chores or doing some scouting about looking for another days shooting. Two builders I know have just started pigeon shooting and they were telling me how they went dawn to late afternoon for seven pigeons and had a brilliant day , joking I said I would have thrown myself on the hide poles rather than sit there for that , but years back I've been out that long for less
