  1. Looking for a Bergara Shooting seat if anyone has one for sale. TIA
  2. Hi Terry, I'm located in Northumberland. I've PM'd you.
  3. Anyone have a Begarra seat they'd consider selling?
  4. Great post, like the look of your dog.
  5. Well done JD, a brilliant hour of sport! Great to see you are posting again, I will look forward to your posts.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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!
  11. Well done, looks a grand spot.
  12. 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!
