Its an amazing piece of work, and great , quick shooting too. Some of the ranges looked incredibly long, I am impressed! Would you mind telling me which piece of equipment you recomend to carry out the filming via the scope at night? Are you using infrared lighting? Sorry for the slightly daft questions, but its something I might like to try myself. I have been using a .17 on rabbits and it would be good to re-live the moments! Many Thanks.

Thanks Pesky, but thats ok, I only accept calls from 18yr old blonde nymphomaniacs.

Thanks for reading this post. I currently have a permission near Manchester, but its very quiet from September until June. I mainly shoot pigeon as i normally a shotgun user but I am also happy to control rabbitts foxes corvids etc, as appropriate with a fully moderated 17. I am very mobile so I can consider places within about 70-80 miles of Manchester, and if the oportunity is good, I will go even further! I will be happy to discuss an anual fee, paid up front in cash for the right land, renewable every year. You will have to prove that you have the right to grant a permission. I do not use a dog, I have over 40 years of shooting experience, I am fully insured, resposnible, tidy, and considerate. I am particularly interested in oportunities over oil seed rape and peas. The size of the land is less relevant than its potential! Please feel free to PM me so we can doiscuss- alternatively you can call me on 07415 120079 Kind Regards

Are you decoying in Liverpool?

if a thief can see it, it wont fool a pigeon.......

Really interesting, i had no idea they lived so long! The way I shoot many of cheshires pigeons remember the moon landings...... A quick question- If, (and of course i have never done this myself), you were unlucky enough to shoot an apparently feral bird which turned out to be a racer, would you report it, or quietly dispose of it? I always check the birds legs closely before I pull the trigger to ensure no pigeon fancier is left waiting in a lonely pigeon loft..........

Hello Mate... I have both- here are my silosocks on my roatry, it seems to work quite well- they give a good flutter as they come into the wind--# I dont know if this is of any help to you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=223wLBLvKcQ&feature=youtu.be

Our permission has been largely cut now and there appears to be days when the pigeons are plentiful or non-existent, but little in-between! A reconnaissance trip last Tuesday revealed good flight lines and an abundance of pigeons, sadly I couldn’t get out until Friday, and then for just a couple of hours...... A set up a normal layout along with my rotary- all looked good, but I had only seen a few pigeons on entering the field. I waited for quite some time probably about 45 minutes until my first customer arrived, but this was a small group of rooks, however I obliged them anyway! I shot just one pigeon in three hours, and I couldn't retrieve him from the undergrowth anyway, however I did end up with a small bag of about 14 rooks and crows which provided a good couple of hours of sport- three of the rooks were shot inside of one minute, but all in different groups- which surprised me, but not as much as me actually being able to hit them consistently. I would have shot more but I had foolishly decided to clean my SX3 in the field and I spent half an hour on the internet watching videos on how to reassemble the breach and align the slider! Not simple like a Beretta! Picture of my bag of rooks and crows..... Hope this is not too boring? I just thought I would share my experienece lately here in Cheshire....

I had the misfortune to watch this sorry load of trash the other night. For those of you considering a relationship (albeit purely carnal) with the delightful young lady featured, frankly I am astonished and I suggest you raise your sights somewhat. Frankly I would rather **** Angela Merkel. The boys training their dogs to attack only have one brain cell between them (which they share) and would make perfect candidates for post natal abortion. I would happily pull the trigger. It was just an excellent example of why these ill educated pieces of trash should not be allowed any kind of dog, let alone ones truly capable of killing. I am in full agreement with the guy above- Bull Dog, and would be only too happy to vent an aggressive pit pull with 50 gramms of no.1 shot. As you rightly say, its near impossible to part a clamped on bulldogs jaws- in the programme the brainless in bred idiots actually choked the dog to get it to release. Please, take him soon lord........ As I have said earlier, it will take a few more kids faces to be ripped off, and a few more dead babies for anyone to take notice. As for the sympathetic copper in the film who allowed dopey ******** to keep her deadly dogs- that she clearly had no chance of controlling, I just think 'shame on you'. I for one would have expected him to know better? I wonder if he will still be cheerily tickling it under the chin when it has throttled one of his workmates dispatched to remove the Canabis plants from her basement? I watch this ****, and these **** people with increasing alarm and dispair. frankly I think we are all ****ed. There is nothing pleasant in their lives and they live like feral animals. I think we should treat them like the vermin that they are........ Anyway, dont forget the bible reading and prayers later this evening........ God Bless.

You are not wrong. Having spent time owning American Pit Bulls, and helping to prosecute the types of brainless thugs you will see on this program, I find it hard to understand how we allow these people to own a corgi let alone a pitbull. In my opinion, Pitbulls, and the other notorious breeds should be kept only by those people who can demonstrate a need, or who are of such solid characters, that they are beyond reproach. Having a pitbull in a seventh floor council flat along with a three year old and and a baby is a recipe for disaster as we have already seen time and time again. There will of course be another story of a child having its face removed by a pitbul or similar within the next six weeks as the kids are on holiday and the chavs are on the ****. The tragedy is that it will take more deaths, of more innocents before the government will wake up and take action. I bet none of the thugs with these dogs would qualify for a FAC! As I mentioned earlier-I have owned and trained American Pitbulls myself, predominantly for use in boar hunting on our estate in France, but despite having the dogs from puppies, and them being frightengly effective, they became unruly and dangerous to almost anyone, and incredibly unpredictable. I ended up destroying both animals when it became apparant that they were both attempting to become top dog and depose me. I kid you not. All dogs should be treated with a degree of respect, they are, afterall, animals, not humans. Any dog will snap if sufficiently provoked or frightened, they are hard wired in many ways and to say, about ANY dog- 'he wouldn't hurt a fly' is naive in the extreme. Just my thoughts.

I was out yesterday on about 1000 acres of Barley stubble, right in the middle..... 6 Hard Hours........ In the rain............. Soggy sandwiches........ Muddy Boots.......... Sad spaniel......... Saw two pigeons Shot at one Clear miss........ Drank beer...... Cried........ I thought my set up looked deadly........- here it is, oh and yes, thats Jodderel bank behind...!! perhaps the aliens put the pigeons off? http://youtu.be/223wLBLvKcQ

happily not much activity on this now. The guy was a con man. he got caught out. I had my money back in a matter of weeks as oon as i realised i had been done. I used the correct methods via the courts. If I had wanted to be vociferous, I would have had his certificates revoked and his guns seized. I trust no one is out of pocket, but if so just PM me and I will give you the sure fire method of getting any monies paid back in your accounts in a feww weeks- and I dont charge any fees!!!

I have used the Silosocks as decoys. flappers and on my rotor. They work well when the pigeons are cooperating!

I would definitely dare to do it.....

It was one of those perfect secrets, known to just a few..... A gliiter ball in a field, than suddenly thousands of pigeons milling around.....the shooting was astonishing, an average bag exceeding 700 birds in half a day, tractors delivering cases of fresh amunition, farmers begging you to bring your 'Magic Ball' to their fields...... But as usual all good things are spoilt by some one going a step too far...yes, you guessed it, some idiot, not content with several thousand pigeons a week started adding the sound track to Saturday Night Fever. Basically the Bee Gees have a lot to answer for... Margaret Thatcher rushed special legislation through the house of commons, sittings were held late into the night, even the lords held mass protests in Trafalgar square, I am surprised none of you can remember? The coverage was only overshadowed by events in the Falklands. SO now, policemen patrol our leafy lanes in their silent electric cars windows wound down listening intently for the dulsit tones of Barry Gibb and 'Staying Alive' wafting over the hedgerows and the reflection of a trillion glittery lights on the trees overhead...some have attempted to flout the law, but all have ended up in the tower with just a glitter ball for company. Be warned.....not everything that gliiters is good for pigeons. In my head, it is very funny...........
