When I shoot pigeons I normally wear a green baseball cap. But wife got me a trilby type hat with a wide brim for Christmas. I wore it today to keep her happy looks a bit daft but those pigeons just flew right up to me. I'll definitely wear it again - much better than a baseball cap!

A lot of newly drilled/planted seed has a red coating - I asked the local farmer what this is apparently it is a mercury based substance designed to act as an insecticide. Presumably if a pigeons gorges on a large quantity of this their meat will also contain a lot of mercury. Has anyone got any info? Or comments on this?

am interested! Wouldn't want to pay more than £60 though. How far are you from Lyneham (wotton Bassett side of Swindon) If you fancy a mornings shooting and want to bring the gun with you let me know email: dave@pangeauk.com

subsonic cartridges --what do they sound like with non sub sonics? Dave

Anyone from Wiltshire? My current shooting buddy’s wife has just had a baby - so he won't be out for a while! I've got permmison over 400 acres (except pheasants). Does anyone from Wilts with their own land fancy a day out in exchange for a bit of shooting on your land? Dave
