pigeonstew

mate dont i say dont give up keep trying dress smart when you go to see them write letters and hand drop them off if the people are busy when you go to see them there gonna say no but if they ve got your letter they can read it at there leisure and come back to you hopefully later on its hard work to get permission but when you do keep trying mate youll get there in the end good luck

mate take a look on utube everything you want to know and more is on there and good on you with wanting to eat what you shoot you havnt said if youve got shooting around you or if your a club member hopefully someone near you will oblige you and i hope you have a great time

shoot them when i can ..but definatly prefer to shoot them flying over my decoy patterns

ALL THE ADVICE IS GOOD BUT I WOULD SAY SITTING STILL WOODPIGEONS HAVE ACE EYESIGHT AND GETTING BEHIND SOME COVER OF SOME SORT WILL DEFO HELP...I PREFER THE TREE METHOD AND TRY TO AVOID SHOOTING DIRECTLY INTO THE CROP AREA ..BUT THE BEST ADVICE IS NOT TO GIVE UP AND KEEP TRYING SOMETIMES THEY CAN BE HELL TO TRICK..GOOD LUCK AND GOOD SHOOTING

HAD A BUZZARD DROP ON MY SHELL DECOYS ..CAME OUT OF NOWHERE..I SWEAR I COULD SEE IT THINKING ***.....WAS GREAT TO SEE THO

cheers mate was just wondering .... :blink:

been shooting a few woodies coming in to roost late afternoon ..does any one shoot pigeons roosting with a .410 ?if so how do they perform are they quieter than say my 12g ? whats the .410 cartridge like for killing birds high up in trees ?..cheers guys

put out 16 shell decoys and my whirly other day...woodys didnt want to know but feral pigeons just came on all afternoon was great sport but wanted woodys for dinner party ...

lol seems a good hobby did you get my shout on fb ? no.....it defo wasnt carrying any money ****

had a good day today shooting mostly feral pigeons but unfortunatly i hit a racing pigeon ....ive kept its ring but dont know if theres a proceedure or if i have to inform any one as this is someones property ..would be gratful for any advice as feel a bit ****** of as i couldnt see it was ringed and it was with several dozen birds that were coming in at regular intervals.... cheers

doesnt matter what it is ..string pack up bottles crisp wrappers ..take it home if you brung it or shot it ...crows can be left .....ive picked up hundreds of cases from other peoples shooting makes me mad it only takes a few minutes at the end of the day

would be interesting to hear how you got on if you try it .....dead ones dont faze them so in principal it should /might work ..there eyesight is poor but there sense of smell is great so a rabbit from another warren seems likely item ......hmmmmmm inrteresting all the same

bought some bouncers of a1 decoy pigeon mania ..unfortunatly all 3 wing spreaders were damaged wife rang them next morning and within 24 hours 3 new ones have arrived so sunday decoying session is on just wanted to say what great service these guys have given me so well done guys and cheers :good: :good: :good:

would a cradle for dead birds help cool the bird on a hot day ?? are birds used out in the decoy pattern for say 5 to 6 hours ok to eat at the end of days shooting or only fit for freezing for further decoy use ??

would a cradle for dead birds help cool the bird on a hot day ??

agricultural nuisance lol like woodpigeons ...... how pc was that...... there vermin mate

i have letters of permission wich i keep with my sgc so always on hand ..ask for a letter off the land owner tell him youll pick it up of him in the evening at his conveniance...you never know could one day get you out the s..t..hopefully youll never need it

cheers guys

mmmm gonna have to try that mate ...sounds lovely

duncans in hull ive never had a problem with them

just got home from an afternoons shooting to find a bottled drink of water had spilt and half box of cartridges were sopping wet in the bottom of the bag ..ive dryed them with a towel but am wondering if theyll be ok advice would be welcome

errr no mate lol used them all on clays in the end

well i finally got out with my miroku and had a walk on one of my permissions today sat under a beech tree and had a couple sat in top of the trees bit hard as i didnt have my nets n poles with me and no decoys ...all rather rushed... pigeons were flying over high up and fast..when they saw me i was amazed at the twist n turns and a couple i swear stop dead and reversed lol only managed to bring down 2 but its a start ,,,more practice at the clays tomorrow totally enjoyed it

clays it is then ..got a farm where i sit next to some old farm machinary and a sitty tree ...cant be more than 20 feet i put out a few decoys today and used my aa s410 air rifle i was getting them down so close i couldnt see them through the scope at its lowest setting ..think 21g at that range might just shred em ben using 30g cartridges and im ok with them so ill stick with em ..cheers for the advive folks

had a raider 2 shot for years used mainly on rabbits and never had a problem with it ..only point was the 2 shot system but still was a good all round rifle..personaly i cant comment on other gun ..youll need a pump or bottle tho let us know what you go for ..
