  1. well done mate good result sounds like a great day. better than mine yesterday 3 hours over rape for 4 pigeons and 1 big crow.
  2. 4pigeons and 1carrion crow over rape no wind total 1438
  3. didnt think u cud shoot birds in your gardens. dont see the point there not causing any harm. let me geuss youve got bird feeders to. i love watching crows and jackdaws hanging upside down desperatly trying to get a piece of grain
  4. 9 yesterday over rape in gale force conditions and light rain total 1430
  5. had a great 4 hours crow shooting with my dad today picked up 56 jackdaws rooks crows over fresh maize stubbles. i got 37 dad got 19
  6. going out on some fresh barley drillings this weekend with my dad. first outing for 3 months due to lack of birds but been watching this feild for a week and seeing some good numbers around hopefully get a good bag. hows everybody elses shooting going always love to hear other peoples experiences
  7. cheers everyone for your comments i appreciate your input. happy shooting
  8. went crow shooting with my dad on the weekend set up about 5-6 hundred meters away frim a horse paddock first few shots got two kills and two misses but a lot in the erea floating around bout twenty minutes later just got into full flow wen a man came across our field to our hide saying we were making his horses jump and run around like mad and wed have to pack up or see police. so we phoned the farmer he said carry on. despite there threats we did ended on 76 rooks and crows. it amazes me how petty people can be towards honest shooters. surely getting a horse used to gunshots has to be a good thing because the ******* things are suicidle on the roads
  9. thats dedication for you. me and my dad use bicycles to go shooting but were blessed we only have to do a 4 mile round trip. keep up the good work mate happy shooting you deserve it
  10. im a keen cyclist and spend a lot of time out and about watching fields for pigeons and crow activity and noticed a combine out yesterday i stood there and watched pigeon after pigeon landing as the combine passed for about an hour and to my amazement saw a low buzzard fly over an boom up came about 4-5 hundred woodys and to think he was stil cutting to. wot will the next few days bring. big bags hopefully
  11. going out with my dad this weekend first time in six weeks havent seen much activity over the harvest months. but been watching a rape stubble field for about a week and been seein a promising amount flighting around and dropping in for a feed so fingers crossed we might get a few. hows everyone elses harvest shooting been and is anyone out the weekend?
  12. in the winter last year i was shooting over standing maize with no decoys no hide just gun and carts and had one of my best days 92. i always travel light so if it all goes wrong can be somewhere else in minutes without hassle of pqcking up
  13. going out this afternoon with my dad over some rape stubble lots of pigeons been hanging around and an odd amount of rooks and jackdaws. So im on pigeons dads on crows. Anyone else out today?
  14. havent seen anything on my perms since the combines were out five six weeks ago frustrating times again
  15. been shooting ten years and i can say personaly it dosent seem to bother the birds at all some of my biggest bags have been shot in peak summer. it sounds like theres genarally no birds there if ur only shooting small bags
  16. going out today with my dad on some ploughed rape hvent been able to go out for a couple of weeks now and have been seeing sum good numbers floating around so hopeing for a good day in the hide. anybody else out today and what you shooting over?
  17. they just finished moving the chicken sheds next to where i work the dogs killed 800+ rats. a few less to worry about
  18. we have all been there mate things can only get better with the harvests under way. keep watching ur fields and pigeons behavour and goods bags will follow
  19. depends what time ur shooting but i find from 1 oclock onwards they decoy better because they want to feed more in the afternoon so they expect to see birds and dont think anythings out of place. i decoyed the edge of a big wood over laid barley last week for 3 hours and managed to get 26 and every bird dropped like a bomb to my decs
  20. ive been shooting now for just over six years with my dad and always keep track of what ive shot and weather conditions and what crops im shooting over in a diary. just wondering if anyone else does the same thing and what numbers they shoot in a year
  21. for me its not about shooting hundreds its about a day off and spending some time with my dad obviously its nice to shoot some but wen the birds have been there in the afternoon all week u expect to see some flying about they cant all no we are there
