  1. Hi Could anyone tell me what this crop is? Do pigeon feed on it??? It is just a single field surrounded by the usual rape/wheat fields. Thanks Ben
  2. Sell whole pigeon as shot to two different restaurants. 50p per bird to one and £1 per bird to the other - on the menus as salads and terrine at £6ish they are selling well apparently. It covers costs!
  3. Electric fence posts do the trick - I got five green, 5 foot plastic posts with a 4 inch spike for £13 from a farmers suppliers (Scatts/Mole Valley farmers). They do the job!
  4. Thanks - the advice is much appreciated - I'm out tomorrow so will attempt to put it into practice!
  5. I have only been shooting a year and have been a regular at my local clay ground and also joined a pigeon club. With clays I'm doing ok - usual shoot skeet and sporting. The problem comes when I'm out after pigeons - I'm really struggling. I've done the recon and found a decent flight line on the edge of a wood looking out over a rape field - how do you hit pigeon when they are coming straight for you to fly over the top of the trees???? They usually come in small groups 3-15 at a time as they are feeding 2 fields away on rape (that I have no access to). They seem high and fast - I mount my gun, find the bird pull away and pull the trigger - result - wasted lead!! Any tips and help much appreciated.....
  6. Got my FUDs and camo net today after 5 phone calls to chase them up. Ordered on 24/11 and arrived 15/12 - longer than expected from a company with a large website but I'm just happy they have arrived! I ordered a Stealth 'Ghost' Woodland Camo Net - the cardboard sign in the packet reads 'Decoy Luxus Camo Netting'. All the searches I have done for a Stealth net match with the one I have but the cardboard label has thrown me a little - I want to make sure that I have the right one. Any ideas? Viewing the net inside it appears pretty much see through - I'm hoping this is normal and it will appear better in natural light when outside....
  7. Thanks - just did a search - it doesn't look good! I'll see what lines I'm fed tomorrow!
  8. I ordered a set of FUDs and a stealth camo net from ############## on 25/11. I phoned on 8/12 and they said they had been sent on 6/12.... I still haven't received them. From some of your comments I am getting worried - anybody else had problems with them? I'm going to call again tomorrow and see what excuse they come up. Postage was £9.50 so I was expecting them within a few days of the order...!
  9. Hi I have all 3 of the books suggested - I would recommend the Irving and Begbie books above the other. They both take you through things step by step and have some excellent tips on solving any issues!
  10. These look great - any more let me know Cheers
  11. Hi What is this choked at? 1/4 and 1/2 or 3/4?
