  9. Hi Dont put stuffing mix in it or bread crumbs i make a fair amount of sausage simple is best i would try the following 50/50 game and pork meat with a fair amount of the fat left on the pork it will cook out of the sausage on the bbq but will stop the sausage being dry . 15 grms of salt per kilo of meat then just add some herbs of your choice i make a italian sausage that has fennel seed and chilli flakes added about a table spoon of fennel seed per kilo chilli to suit your taste hope this helps enjoy cheers Rob

  13. Steep Learning Curve Was lucky enough to be asked out for a day’s pigeon shooting yesterday with bakerboy. We arrived at Terry’s permission about 11 am and went past the place we would be shooting to a vantage point at the top end of the field where Terry said we should just sit and have a look at what the pigeons were doing. We watched for a while and they were behaving exactly as Terry had predicted and we made our way to set up a hide just under a tree that was an obvious flight line back to where the birds wanted to sit in between feeding stints. I don’t have a great deal of experience on shooting pigeons but as always was very excited about the prospect of a good day but I didn’t know then just how good the day was going to be. Terry explained the order of the day that he predicted that the birds would be leaving the trees that we were sitting under through the day feeding on the wheat in front of us, returning, when full, to digest their food in the trees then out again . We would be shooting them as they flew to and from the trees. No decoys as this would not be possible with the standing wheat. As predicted, this is exactly what happened. At first I was a bit keen and was shooting at birds that were, for my experience, a bit too tricky and possibly out of range. Terry watched what I was doing and offered up some advice that I should sit tight and wait until the pigeon was really committed then stand and shoot. After another bit of coaching about keeping the gun moving (basic I know) but in the heat of the moment easily forgotten it all came together. Pigeons came all day we shot approx. 75 and if it weren’t for my early excitement and lack of experience could have been more. I shot my first left and right pair 75 yards apart and a couple of other long range birds that folded and hit the ground perfectly. I had the biggest smile on my face. In fact, at the end of the day my face was aching as I had spent most of the day with a massive grin on my face, a combination of being very pleased with myself and Terry’s banter. As the title says a steep learning curve for me watching the pigeons all day doing what pigeons do and thanks to Terry’s knowledge I feel I have learned a lot and think one day I might make a passable pigeon shooter. Thanks baker boy for a great day always good to see Terry a true gentleman. And as a footnote was asked whilst we were there to help out with a bad crow problem so watch this space. Thanks again Terry. Cheers Rob.
  14. Nice work Terry doing what the farmer wants crop protection ,after all thats why we are allowed to shot pigeons . you could take me as you have seen me shoot ,i was just thinking then there would be less birds to leave on the ground cheers mate
