Ollie, I like that video for three reasons: good shooting, well filmed and shows a bag that is not gargantuan. Makes me feel better about my tally.
Thanks mate. Was an average enough day, but one of my favourite of the year as it helped the shoot.
Another fine video, good shooting and nice scenery, thanks for posting.
Thanks cranfield, some time in the next 2 weeks will start the pheasants again.
Good watch and video Ollie, I enjoyed that thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching as always fella

After one of my previous crow shooting videos with a seaview during the summer you all asked for more with that view, so I delivered (albeit not as good as previous).
We have had a serious problem with corvids taking the pheasant feed. They have been difficult to decoy but for some reason this particular day they decoyed quite well. Ended up with a respectable bag of birds and a decent bit of sport:
-
Brilliant video, like that you were a bit more interactive in this one. Looked like a good show of ducks.
-
Go to a place that have lots on display and pick one you personally like the picture and image colour of.
The new oled screens look very good but expensive.
What type of house are you building Ollie ?
When I go into a shop with loads of tvs I find it difficult to understand all the features etc.
We bought a derelict semi with a huge garden & refurbished and extended. We are going for a modern look.
I had my last one from John Lewis, great service and apparently their customer service if any issues is amazing.
Pretty sure they'll also price match if you find it cheaper elsewhere.
Thanks for the advice.
Don't buy LG, we have had constant problems with our new LG TV and know friends who had the same!
Sony is always worth it IMO. My dad has a 4K Sony and the picture is outstanding.
I'll stay clear of LG then, cheers.

Ìf you want 4k, to get the best from it you need a screen size of over 60 inch .if you have a fast internet, then Netflix do some 4k stuff. Picture wise any thing is upscaled so the picture quality is good on digital tv etc.
Thanks for the sound advice. I don't know if my internet would be quick enough for streaming 4k, so it may be wasted.
I don't have one but three of my brothers swear by 4k. If things that look slightly out of focus hurt your eyes you will be impressed but as John said its wasted on a small screen. In fact its apparently made for huge screens that would otherwise show a pixilated image. Colours are seriosly brilliant.
One thing I notice about the led/lcd screen is that dark scene's of old films are not as easy to see what's going on as well as the old CRT tube screens - which had better low light grey's performance. Think of Dirty Harry or Paul Kersey doing their stuff in those dark parks.... I had them in memory from the CRT days lol.
Now you know my type of films lol, watching Hang em High later.
The missus doesn't want anything bigger than 50 inch TV, so maybe not a huge tv.
Hisense are a brand you might want to check out.
I hadn't heard of this make before, I will check them out.

Need some help everyone. I'm currently building a house, hoping to get moved in for December.
I'm after a 49" smart tv for the living room but I'm a little clueless as to best makes etc. Can you suggest options & where best to purchase. Also, is 4K worth it?
-
Just as good as usual, some cracking shots there.
Your friends two for one shot was interesting, it didn't seem on the video that the birds were close enough together.
My two for ones have mostly been with a bird behind the target bird, rather than next to it.
He will now find himself buying more cartridges with that auto, at least I use more when I take mine out.
I said the same thing after he got the 2 for 1, the birds didn't look that close, must have been a good spread. He actually got another 2 for 1 on that same day that I never caught on camera.
Good shooting.
Cheers mate
Excellent shooting by you both. What camera were you using?
Cheers Steve. SJ4000 on a GoPro head strap.
-
nice vid boys.
Thank you
That was some excellent shooting by both of you guys very well done, thanks for sharing.
Quite a few misses edited out, ha ha. I didn't shoot as well as normal.

I went out about a month ago with a mate who had recently bought a Winchester SX4. It was a typical Irish day with sunny spells mixed in with heavy showers. The crows & ferals pigeons decoyed pretty steady in the morning but tailed off in the early afternoon.
Ended up with a decent bag of birds despite some of the poor shooting and a new gun well christened.
-
Top shooting as usual Ollie.
Cheers al.
-
Another enjoyable vid Ollie great shooting!
Good shooting ollie enjoyed that.
Thanks lads
-
I thought the guy had some blinding shots, also some bad ones but hey- dont we all?
Ive just ordered a Tachyon gun cam, instead of a red dot it has cross hairs, it has a much wider field of view than the shotkam which I liked.
How much is that camera if you don't mind me asking? Post a video when you get it.
-
Good shooting fella, some really long shots on those corvids musta been using tight chokes.
-
Good video al. We have serious issues with the corvids at the pheasant feeders!!!
-
Another great video, thanks for posting, you seem to be getting some good shooting this stubble time and those rooks were folding nicely.
You don't see too many ferals in most of your videos, did this lot come from a local town ? There were certainly a few about.
Thanks Cranfield. This is the same farm as the previous video. There is quite a large town about 2 miles from this field & belfast city is maybe 10 miles from here, so draws a lot of ferals. There were still flocks of them flying out of the field as we were leaving.
I normally wouldn't bother much with the ferals, but my best mate hasn't got out decoying all summer so wanted him to get some trigger time.
-
I hope you all had a good opening weekend at the ducks, deer etc. This is a video from earlier on in August shooting pigeons (mostly feral pigeons) & crows over barley stubble. Ended up with a bag of almost 150 birds.
-
Every shot in the book there Ollie; High crossers, L to R & R to L, high driven & high going away, & even a second, killer shot on a spiraling head-shot pigeon (the ones I always seem to miss). You should savour days like that.Thanks for the 'proxy' sport whilst I watch from my kitchen laptop with a glass of beer.By the way I love those FF5 flappers,if things look promising I often travel light with just an FF5,a lithium battery & one dead bird;They can pull them in quite well.Sorry there was no spectacular sea view this time,but we can't have everything.
Cheers mate, you are going to make me blush!!! My favourite shot of the day was the high crow that I killed with the second shot & it took ages to drop; I really pulled far in front to kill that bird.
The ff5 is spot on, as you say it can be very light & handy to take to the field.
Good shooting there, you certainly are lethal on those crows.
Another excellent video, thanks for sharing.
PS. I also missed the sea views.
Plenty of sea views coming when it's game season, can't wait.
Great footage, loving the one you tried to catch with your hand lol looked like a fun session.
I was about 2 inches away from catching it lol
-
Excellent shooting, but we have come to expect nothing less from you Ollie really enjoyed that thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words

I am out again on a winter barley stubble in Northern Ireland shooting pigeons & crows. We had 2 hides set up in this farm, myself in one hide and my father & his mate in the other.We had a pretty good day with a bag in excess of 100 birds and some challenging shooting. Thanks for watching as always and lads keep the videos coming
-
I'm in
-
Thanks everyone for watching.
-
Great clip and shooting there, what hide netting do you use please?
To be honest I can't remember. I know it's a stealth net, but sometimes its not great on the crows so sometimes i put an additional net on for cover.
That's one thing I'd like the look of getting into. Never done to much decoying but that looks like a good hour or twos craic! I'd hardly think my early 1900 sxs hammer gun would stick the abuse
Why not get into it. I'm sure there are plenty of crop fields on Donegal for you to have a go at.
what a lovely view from your hide........stunning.
The first field is on our pheasant shoot, makes for lovely view across the Irish sea.

Hi all,
Been very quiet recently on here, building a house at the moment so haven't had much time for shooting. Got out a couple of times over the past month or so and bagged a few birds on camera, here is the latest instalment. A short outing for a couple of hours on a Friday afternoon on fresh cut silage after corvids and another outing on pigeons on standing barley. I'll hopefully get a bit more time in the next few weeks to get some shooting done during harvest.
Thanks for watching

I had forgotten about this footage from December & January of some Rough Shooting here in Ireland.
Most of the action is after Woodcock & Snipe with my cocker spaniel Dinky. There is also a couple of roost shooting clips. The season seems a long time ago now, looking forward to some decoying now in the spring & summer.
