I've sent you a PM Terry.

Hi Terry, I'm located in Northumberland. I've PM'd you.

Anyone have a Begarra seat they'd consider selling?

Great post, like the look of your dog.

Pinewood Rotary Replacement Motor

Thank you. -
Well done JD, a brilliant hour of sport! Great to see you are posting again, I will look forward to your posts.

Well done, a great day. I admire your persistence in learning to shoot from either shoulder. Many would have called it quits. Finding an outlet for birds is a real headache here too. Pre-covid I had a range of restaurants in the area that took birds but that has greatly diminished to one or two. I have BoP guys that take them but they can only accept so many. Like you I won't shoot unless the birds are used properly.

Always found JDog a knowledgeable, articulate guy who is extremely generous with his time and pigeon permissions. A great contributor over many years to this site. It is a poorer place without him.

Pinewood Rotary Replacement Motor
kippylawkid replied to kippylawkid's topic in Pigeon Decoying Equipment
Thanks for taking the time to reply lads. My tech guy reckons the gearing may be shot too so I need to evaluate whether it is worth taking the chance to fork out £60 for the motor. -
Folks, my Pinewood Rotary has given up the ghost as the motor has burnt out. Does anyone know if it is possible to source a replacement motor or am I best giving it up as a bad job? Do Pinewood still exist? If at all possible I would like to at least try and repair it as it has been a fantastic servant for at least 20 years. Thoughts and recommendations are welcome.

Lol! Very good

On Saturday I shot the same fields that I have had recent success on, but from a different hide. I managed 11 pigeons in 2 hours. The view from the hide wasn't too shabby!

Well done, looks a grand spot.

The strong easterly winds continued to batter Northumberland, leaving a good covering of snow. I was out first thing on Saturday morning to flight pigeons in a wood that has consistently produced birds for me since December. Unfortunately, the farmer had placed a banger right next to the wood and the pigeons were extremely wary. I still managed to bag 13 in 2 hours. I then moved to another farm that I had been asked to shoot to scare them off the rape. I knew this would not be a fruitful trip, but I always score there in spring on drillings so I made the effort and set up on a bare, east facing hillside no decoys; just flighting. The rape showing above the snow had been picked clean and I stuck it out for 90 mins until the cold became too much and I picked 4 very hard earned birds. On Sunday I shot the same field where I had some success last week. Thankfully, the fir wood again offered good shelter and I had an excellent flight. I started with 10 dead birds on cradles, flapper and 3 bouncers. The bouncers seemed to make some difference as pigeons definitely reacted more to them, despite the snow. I picked 44 just in time before the heavens opened with horizontal sleet. Roll on Springtime!
