Thanks for correcting me Butcherboy, must try harder next time.
Rushjob wind ya neck in.

As said number of birds will vary dependent on cover and possibly location, are birds likely to be drawn away by other food sources soon after release?
Some more info would be good and allow for a more accurate assessment of requirements such as, when and at what age are you looking to release?
How many birds did you have in mind when you built the pen?

Best off going out and having a look for flighlines/ pigeon activity. Basic setup would include a gun, cartridges, decoys (plastic or dead birds) unless you can get under a flightline and down a couple to get you started. Some form of hide/cover, depends on your area as to wheather you can make a natural hide in a hedgerow, tuck in a ditch etc or cammo net supported on poles (wooden stakes or metal). If you use the search facility you'll find past posts which cover peoples preferences/setups. Hope this helps..

Now that cover is starting to grow up is snaring an option? I've spotted footing and good runs recently whilst out walking the dog. Obviously you would need to check them daily, but once they are in place you don't have to commit lots of hours to just sitting and waiting. Just a thought?

With regard to the larsen a good nest of eggs (6+) in the catch compartment and one cracked on top of the call bird compartment assuming it has a solid top should do the trick. You may find that your first catch won't act as a good call bird though as magpies are territorial, may be worth sourcing one from out of the area.
Good luck

What sort of impact on vermin numbers do people expect to see on a 1 day a week basis? To help wild pheasants would require controlling vermin, easiest way is to run tunnel traps, larsens, snares and the like which have to be checked daily, therefore not an option. Totally unrealistic expectations in my opinion. It may however suit someone with plenty of free time, willing to put in numerous days a week free of charge..

RC Titanos in a 6 31g

Well done on obtaining the new permission, cover looks a little sparse in the pics though. I can see why the previous keeper struggled with returns lol.
-
Easy way of carrying carts on a walk up day, personally I transfer to pockets and then load from there.

Look like the linky thing works all by its self
Not anymore...
You has been Zapped

Anything in 6's 28-32g, price will vary based on location @ amount purchased.

Seems like a reasonable offer to me, shame it's not closer..
-
Looks ok, but if you are planning on shotgun shooting from it can't see those windows allowing much scope to swing. Good luck with it and let us know how it works in the field!

Where abouts are you?
What's the blueing like and any pitting?
Thanks

I was first introduced to shooting with my fathers old bolt action Webley & Scott 410. Eley Fourlong were the main cartridge I used first in paper case and later in plastic. I certainly never encountered and problems although I would have to get my father to check the gun to see what pressure it is stamped at.
Can't see any issues personally, but better safe than sorry.
