Totally feel the same way - Im the man who spends 5/6 hours and walks 8/9 miles on a Sunday after our syndicate shoot trying to account for every bird - obviously i cant - because of the cover / the river or the foxes , badgers and birds of prey - but i do try. The only time when i do shoot and leave though is if a patch in the middle of a field has been laid and has been getting hammered - as above i will try and pick in the tramlines - will always try and find a known wounded birds - but birds do get left. maybe the OP could find the flightline to the field and shoot them flighting to it - rather than on it - Thats what i always try to do first. I have also had some success when crops are laid a bit later in the season with shooting over a water source

In Barley Not a good idea - the awns are very spikey and can damage a dogs eyes, ears and respiratory tracks

I was sort of presuming he was after something to use where he was just sat on bait rather than walking about with them I think the trade off with the weight - if he is just sat waiting - is ok because you can just clamp it in and leave it

BOG Deathgrip Awesome

I can only think his response to the question Why have you shot the pigeon Perhaps made no reference to the licence under which he shot it Maybe he said - just to eat or something Again just speculation

I know how you feel anout waste but thats why the birds are on the licence - to protect the crop

I say again - BASC had been great with us and our shoot We are not even in BASC BASC also support GWCT which cant be bad BASC have young shots and ladies day - not many others organise such BASC help get people in to stalking and wildfowling which are not the easiest of routes BASC was great with us during Covid and i know helped many other shoots too - with plans to make sure we all operated within the law and more importantly everyone was kept and felt safe BASC has engaged with our shoot with some conservation measures - Bird boxes and duck tubes Had BASC made mistakes - well who hasnt ? I feel they are listening to us but most importantly trying their absolute best Are there things i would do different - sure there are - but i raise the issues with Conor or Murray and they give their view - we dont always agree. All i would say is try and engage with them and get over some of the old issues - or just leave it be and let the rest of us do so.

26 today over decoys and call TOTAL 924

Im not sure lead is as toxic as some of the negativity on here Its time to pull together

Hi Simon Its not that i have an issue killing anything - God knows i shoot every day - trap every day - But to me its just the lack of need. Your videos are brilliant - they show skill - they tell of the need to reduce crows or foxes to protect ground nesting birds - or lambs. Killing for the sake of killing - i dont think is what you are about - look at Peter ! - hes safe as houses ! Hope you see where i was coming from - and yeah i trhink its so sad and indeed pathetic that we now have so many copycat fly killers - but as i say if thats all they can manage

Most odd - it says you are a trade member on SD - and the thread on there has now been deleted

Are you a trader?

I dont think you need all that tape on the gun and scope Accuspell Sorry to hear about your accident
