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
-
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!
-
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!

Thanks - the advice is much appreciated - I'm out tomorrow so will attempt to put it into practice!

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.....

Left or right hand cast? Cheers

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....

Thanks - just did a search - it doesn't look good! I'll see what lines I'm fed tomorrow!

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...!

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! -
